The Ghost Is Dancing, 'The Darkest Spark' (Sonic Unyon)

Canadian indie-rock collectives start hockey league - kidding!

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. What they don't share with their forebears -- not yet, anyway -- is a pressing raison d'être: This debut full-length delivers more in the way of passion and delight than unforgettable songs, though the yelping, twinkling "Darkest Spark" and the delicately overloaded "Greatlakescape" swell with scrappy earnestness.
