Holy Ghost!
“Teenagers in Heat”
Dynamics (out 09/10 on DFA)
I’m moving to New York in two weeks, and there’s nothing I would rather soundtrack my new adventures with than a new Holy Ghost! album. Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel’s sound has always been pure NYC, and “Teenagers in Heat” is no exception. Frankel’s vocals have come so far since their breakout single, “Hold On,” and the perma-cool 30 year-old really goes for it here, straining his voice as he battles against the malaise of living in a city that marches on to an unshakeable rhythm. Though they’ve been in the game for almost seven years, Holy Ghost! has never sounded more alive, and their second album looks set to be a massive step forward.
