271. GHOST MOVES by Ghost Party

I was excited to learn about this band because they hail from Houston, Texas - my hometown and where I still currently live. They just came out with their debut record in June 2024. Variably described as psychedelic, cosmic country and even countrygaze (think shoegaze, but country) the album is an easy and short 38 minute listen. Aside from it being a nice record, I'm just glad to feature another band from the Houston or surrounding area (previous entries include ZZ Top, The Judys and Khruangbin).

To my ears, the only true psychedelic-sounding track is album opener 'Teenage Shaman.' Then for a tinge of country 'Lonesome Breath' will fit the bill. After that comes 'After Hours' with its catchy bass line and falsetto vocals. End with title track 'Ghost Moves.'
