Ghost Woman - Anne, If [2024 White Vinyl Repress]

One could be forgiven for getting that familiar feeling when listening to the music of Ghost Woman. And that's not just because songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Uschenko is deeply steeped in classic guitar-led rock pop and songwriting, it's that the music was, by design, intended to be evocative. Not evocative of any one thing, however; what separates the music of Ghost Woman is his openness to non-specificity. He's not trying to impart any sort of message to the listener; instead, the hope is that one will find themselves luxuriating in nuances of how the music is delivered, and the feelings it stirs up for each individual.
 
For the past couple of years Ghost Woman has been Evan Uschenko's outlet for his interest in songwriting and recording, which began after a number of years spent playing as a sideman in various Canadian indie ensembles, most notably in the Michael Rault band. Anne, If presents a slightly more expansive vision of what Ghost Woman can offer.
