I've managed to snatch up three of the Grey Ghost series, the first of which is Hearts of Animals' Mlee Marie doing a(nother) solo thing, albeit one that's significantly less electronic than her "main" project, even if the songs themselves are kissing cousins. This is bedroom folk by definition -- i.e., it sounds like it was recorded in a bedroom -- but there's such a dark, gloomy tinge to it that it feels like Marie's going to slit her wrists by the time the EP's finished. There's "Chapter," a soft-voiced and sad little track that makes me think, weirdly, of both The Secret Stars and Jewel at the same time. Then there's "My Shoes," the slightly awkward lyrics of which made me cringe just a bit at first but which now makes the song that much more endearing (love the "ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh" bit), and the gorgeously sweet closer, "Break My Heart." All three tracks whip on past so quick that if you blink, you've missed it already and have to go hunting for the "Play" button again. Which is no bad thing, considering.
