“Ghosts” is the first single off Bleary’s upcoming Gates EP, a six-song release that takes the formulas seen on their Winter Demos release, ups the clarity, and turns the catchiness dial to eleven… “Ghosts” is second on the EP – lyrically introspective, as Mercer begins “I can’t relate to the voices in my head, and I can’t get out of bed,” buffeted by massive, dreamy guitars. The chorus is an explosion – guitars soar as Mercer recounts being “surrounded by [his] ghosts at night.” The song is contagiously energetic, compulsively kinetic, subverting the emotionally-driven words being broadcast. But despite the brooding lyrics, I’m filing this baby into my running playlist. Catch you in a few miles.” – Jordan Reyes, Ears to Feed
