Local Music ReviewsGhosts of CinemaFantasmagoriaSelf-ReleasedStreet: 04.02.2025Ghosts of Cinema = Slowdive + Slow PulpDevan Bailey and Carter Smith, the creative minds behind Ghosts of Cinema, last released an album in 2010. That album, Regarding Time, Color, & Objection to Both, was good, for sure, but the duo’s latest release Fantasmagoria is something else entirely. The sound is complex, rich with layers of blurry guitar existing next to and beneath crisp percussion with glorious feedback and harmonized vocals. The two singles “In Spite of Everything” and “Empyreal” are fantastic, both featuring guest vocals from Megan Bailey. —Billy SwartzfagerRead more of SLUG’s local album reviews here:Local Review: Runestomper — Trials, Pt.
