REVIEW

Fourth EP from LA-based dream pop duo CD Ghost, formed by Cody Han and Blake Dimas. Serving as the B-side companion to their previous release Vignette I, this EP continues their signature dreamy synthwave approach, immersing the listener in a honey-sweet, romantic haze.

The darkwave elements have largely receded—making it a slightly tougher fit for our site’s usual scope—but a closer listen reveals traces of pain and melancholy lingering beneath the soft glow, which ultimately reaffirms its emotional pull.

Track #5 “Twin Peaks”, while never explicitly stated, is almost certainly an homage to the iconic TV series’ opening theme. The way repeating synth lines are gradually swallowed by creeping noise creates an unmistakably mysterious atmosphere.
