Escape the Day - Ghostless (2005)

Image

Get the party started with some crushingly sad German slowcore/post-rock. Simple guitar and piano figures and barely-there, whispery vocals, and the occasional cathartic crescendo. Ghostless is devastating on its own terms, and even more so given that one of the project's two main members, Chrisoph Florian Rehse, committed suicide before it could be released.

Track listing:
1. Hallways
2. Ghostless
3. Days
4. The Hour Undone
5. If I Told You
6. Still
7. This Wave's Length

    I remember listening to them 18 years ago. Still do. Bought their album on bandcamp out of love for the album. Agalloch dedicated Ashes Against the Grain to Florian actually
