French Police - Haunted Castle

[4th pressing]The band’s 2nd studio album largely follows the band’s signature sound, which they describe as being characterized by “fast melodies”, “distant voices with short verses”, and “lots of reverb”; however, some of the tracks sport a more traditional song structure with longer verses and more prominent vocals, such as the lead single, “Dance with Me” (a dark, captivating bop with a ghostly atmosphere) and “Mission” (a warm, yet somber track with pulsating 80s-style drums).

Sonically, Haunted Castle carries a sense of melancholia that can be felt on tracks like “Sushi and Sex”, “I’m upset”, and “Future Past” (a spacey, ethereal number with strong vocals).
