about
Since the 2017 release of Assimilation, -ghost island- grew to five members. The band's latest single reflects not only a growth in size, but also an aspiration toward a powerful sound. "New Light" was intended to underscore the concept of monumentality--the song brings listeners through a ten-minute transition from the mysterious into the magnificent. It's also somewhat of an experiment, as the band played with new pedals and instruments to expand its approach to songwriting. However, this song became the only one composed by all five members before life's twists and turns drove some members into different geographies, and some new personal revelations changed the direction of the forthcoming album. Still, "New Light" is not a mournful reflection on loss, but instead a celebration of the monument it stands on, foreshadowing something yet to come. Accompanying this release is a remix of one of -ghost island-'s first solo compositions by John Romero, "The Stars in Your Eyes." The song showcases a pursuit of simplicity reminiscent of Hammock, and it has been refreshed with Roddy Nikpour's addition of keys. Both tracks were lovingly mixed and mastered by John Romero.
