THE
GHOST IS DANCING
Romy
and Sari Lightman are the founding members of the Halifax based
folk group, Ghost Bees. The twin sisters have been playing music
together and writing songs for as long as they can remember. Their
sound has been referred to by critics as an "eclectic brand
of spooky folk", with musical comparisions to the avante
garde, hand-spun tales of Joanna Newsom and the dark and playful
harmonies of CocoRosie. Ghost Bees follow in similiar form, weaving
delicate, haunting vocals accompanied by uncoventional, bold and
poetic prose. They have been noted in reviews by Canada's Walk
of Fame, as an up-and coming band involve in the "midst of
Halifax's musical renaissance" amongst the "stream of
burgeoning folk-inspired bands who are carving out their own paths
within the indie folk scene".
"Whether
the secret to Ghost Bees success lies in telepathy, aggressiveness,
the band's meloncholy alternative folk sound, or the the twin-sister
harmonies, it's clearly working". --Laura Stone, The Gazette
KOAK

Wilson.
