"In an indie-rock world that has increasingly come to celebrate mindless hedonism and a Reagan-era style-over-substance aesthetic, Jordan Stephens’ new album Ghosts reflects very real fear and feeling, the eerie echoes that are the flipside to trendy disco-punk braggadocio. This is unashamedly human music, music that doesn’t care about ’cool’ or ’uncool,’ ’in’ or ’out,’ and is much the better for it. Stephens’ songs are the ones secretly playing in the mind’s-ears of a nation of sorrowful hipsters who tremble behind their elaborate facades."
