Never judge a book by its cover. It's an idiom whose lesson is hammered into us as children, a symbolic rendering of liberal values. You don't base things on surface judgment because it's not accurate, it's not fair, and it's not a very nice thing to do. Sometimes, though, it's not like this at all.

A couple of weeks ago we featured Guilty Ghosts self-titled LP from 2010. In that feature, we also posted tracks from Guilty Ghosts ' upcoming release, Veils . Well, it's out now and better than anticipated. Marked by vast sonic soundscapes, it is a step above Tristan O'Donnell's past work. Tracks by See Oleena and Guerre stand out, but the variety of material is a strength of this release. The People You Love and The End Of Akira recall the guitar work of late 802s [...]
