COMET GAIN return with their seventh album âPaperback Ghostsâ on July 7th, their first since 2011âs critically acclaimed âHowl of The Lonely Crowdâ. Recorded at Soup Studios with producer Simon Trought at the helm, and inspired by the psycho-geography of walks in North London woods and in the forgotten grey hinterland of the cityâs back streets, âPaperback Ghostsâ comes soaked in autumn melancholy. Tender-hearted but not miserable, defiant but not angry, it maintains the delicate balance that has always been Comet Gainâs strength.
"Long After Tonite's Candles Are Blown" captures a moment in time, old friends together on one of those magic nights that sweep into morning, everyone afraid to leave the dancing and the drinking... all nights merging into this one special romantic night that has to be held onto with sad determination because Heaven is a lie... joyous glorious ghosts seen in the half light, still holding on to each other long after they have died.
