THE GHOST WOLVES, “End of It All”

“End of It All” sounds like it’s from a different world, filled with foreboding images and poppy doom. Taking cues from cabaret rock, The Ghost Wolves have made a carnivalesque tune, full of lyrical nods to plagues and witches that beckon you in with an off-kilter rhythm. The haunting vocals and tight harmonies layered over echoing drums lend an eerie atmosphere to the song, but the heart of this sideshow spectacle is the pumping organ that plays throughout. Piercing vocalizations that make up the second half of the song are another highlight, and a good metaphor for the song as a whole; tumbling over one another in a dizzying and intoxicating mix, they draw you deeper into this macabe funhouse mirror of a song before disappearing like a ghost.
