About This Item
2016 EP. Haunted continues to move ahead with the songwriting and sound templates Desario laid out on Red Returns. They've maintained the tight arrangements and hooks of it's predecessor, reminiscent of classic Britpop, shoegaze and indie but with an even grittier edge. Emphasizing on capturing the band's live sound and energy in the studio, Desario, again, chose to team up with veteran recording engineer Tony Cale working the controls. The lone exception being a contemporary adaptation of The House of Love's early hit, 'Nothing To Me', recorded by Michael Yoas. Even more raw, stripped down and dirtier than Red Returns, Haunted still features the dual guitar and rhythm-section based approach that has been synonymous with Desario in recent years, drawing the attention of indie fans and critics alike. RIYL Death Cab for Cutie, The Ocean Blue, Catherine Wheel, Doves, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Ride, The Smiths, rich, Echo & The Bunnymen, New Order, Jesus & Mary Chain.
