No Ghost is an album by Canadian indie folk band The Acorn, released 1 June 2010 on Paper Bag Records and Bella Union. It is their third full-length.
The album was recorded by Jarrett Bartlett.
Comparing this album to their last album, Glory Hope Mountain, band leader Rolf Klausener said, "It's a lot harder, it's got a lot more electric guitars, it's got a bit of a Yo La Tengo-y or Talk Talk kind of spaciousness, but then it also feels a little like a Crazy Horse record at times."[1] He has said that his favourite songs on the album are "Cobbled in Dust" and "Misplaced".[2]
The album has received mostly positive reviews. Graeme Thomson of Uncut wrote, "For anyone who fretted that Glory Hope Mountain might have been a beautiful fluke, No Ghost confirms The Acorn’s credentials, building thrillingly on the band’s ability to access a variety of moods and textures."[3] Critic Kevin Harley of The Independent wrote that "the dynamism in its swerves from rhythmic, rolling rockers ("Bobcat Gold Wraith") to gentler laments ("On the Line") suggest a confidence behind the surface modesty."[4] http://www.prefixmag.com/reviews/the-acorn/no-ghost/42205/. Critic Daniel Kolitz of prefixmag.com received the album favorably, rating it a 7.5 out of 10.0.
All songs were written by Rolf Klausener, except as noted.
