Hear 
Crooked Ghost
“Catch Fire”
Skeleton House
Finally!!!! Crooked Ghost has released their album, Skeleton House, and the whole piece is as great as the teasing the great single, “Sleepwalker/Only Nightmares”, gave us. This is a great vision of dream punk at its best. I really cannot say enough good about this band. Coming from Asheville (my favorite NC city), the band consists of Ray – Voices/guitars, Charles – Guitar, Christopher – Bass , Alexandra – Keyboards, and Jon – Drums. These are the new royalty of dream punk. Just check them out. Oh, here are the lyrics for “Catch Fire”:
it’s almost daylight
your eyes
reflect the summer
I died
when you kissed me
strip the flesh
leave the bones for the crows
and now I’m old
I look so old
I surrender
I take flight
I can’t remember
I’m so tired
I am aching
I am swollen
when will they take me
I have lost it
carry me away
I burst into flames
catch fire
a thousand times again
your smile
crooked and laughing
I cried
when you left me
stained and ragged
out in the cold
and now I’m old
you look so old
