A mini rockestra that will suffer and benefit from Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene comparisons, the Ghost Is Dancing feature multiple members and a variety of instruments (trumpets, Theremin, pump organ), along with a tuneful eagerness that's hard to dislike.

This New York band still use the staccato guitar rhythms that made their debut album, Tree City, such a jagged wrecking machine. But here, that tight, compressed punch is augmented by subtle orchestrations whose airy ambience hints at the chameleon funk of David Bowie and the dance-floor minimalism of early B-52's.

Held together by its depressive fragility, this debut by singer/guitarist Jesy Fortino comes on like a melancholy mash note. Opener "Campfire Resemblance" is (barely) powered by her fingerpicked acoustic guitar and raw harmonies that invoke both choir practice and edgy carnality.
