It’s been seven years since Sanders Bohlke’s eponymous debut- a folk album hailed as passionate and praised for its honesty. But that doesn’t mean that Bohlke has been quiet in the interim. To fill the spaces between, he’s released a slew of standalone singles and EPs, including “Search and Destroy,” a 7+ minute track that expands in an unyielding cascading rhythm and “The Weight of Us,” a string-laden ballad that Popdose referred to as “sound[ing] like a stark personal statement… a hauntingly lovely song.”
The wait is over, though, as Sanders releases his new album Ghost Boy on February 19, 2013 via Communicating Vessels, one of the new crop of cutting edge Southern record labels, based out of Birmingham, Alabama with Jeffrey Cain (of Remy Zero) at the helm.
Lead single “Ghost Boy” is arguably Bohlke’s most infectious melody and fully realized flirtation with pop music, and could easily hold its own with the biggest indie singles of the last few years. On this new record, Sanders continues his evolution as a songwriter with lush soundscapes that layer brooding and billowy textures against his soulful voice. Once again recorded with Jeffrey Cain, they’ve perfected a sonic world that deftly highlights both the beauty and the dark romance of Bohlke’s songs.
