Building bold hooks into atmospheric textures, Obaro Ejimiwe has ditched electronica for guitars on a third album that sighs with intoxicating melancholy. With empathy and sharp detail, his lyrics build vivid snapshots of domestic violence (“Yes, I Helped You Pack”), homelessness (“Shedding Skin”) and awkward mornings after (“I’m Sorry My Love, It’s You Not Me”). Alt-rock may be a new venture for Ghostpoet, but it’s charged by his usual commitment to excellence.
