Ghostking is Dead

Fever Dreaming [HAUSU]

Part rumination on the power of dreams to delight, distort and confuse, part indictment of a country that has lurched from one excuse for its mistreatment of young people to another over the past few decades, Fever Dreaming is Corkonian troubadour Ghostking is Dead’s most focused work to date. Matt Corrigan’s troubled bedroompop is en route to another place, as evidenced by the sonic diversity and broadening of scope throughout the release. Palm Tree, meanwhile, is the deserved realisation of a quietly-loved live favourite, keeping in the EP’s mood by rounding on housing-crisis paranoia in cathartic fashion.
