Gaze Is Ghost – ‘Revolvere’ / ‘Murmuration’

I’ve been keeping tabs on Derry-born Laura McGarrigle. Her atmospheric orchestral songs as Gaze Is Ghost made with piano, violin, guitar and McGarrigle’s delicately emotional voice have meant that I’ve been keeping an ear her way.

She’s been playing live shows in her college town of Cambridge and there was previously an older 2013 EP to listen to. Today though, McGarrigle has revealed two new tracks to be released next week on Bandcamp.

‘Revolvere’ is an orchestral beauty with electronic undercurrents reminscent of Julia Holter in execution while ‘Murmuration’ is a piano ballad with McGarrigle’s vocals lifting the tune above the norm.
