Magnets & Ghosts' album Mass is a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that explore themes of love, loss, and redemption. The duo, consisting of ex-Collective Soul guitarist Jesse Triplett and producer/multi-instrumentalist Dean Roland, create a rich tapestry of sound that is both ethereal and grounded in reality.
The album opens with the dreamy, atmospheric track "Light My Flame," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The haunting vocals and intricate guitar work create a sense of longing and yearning that permeates throughout the entire album.
Songs like "Drug Money" and "Brokenhearted" are raw and emotional, with lyrics that cut to the bone. The production is sparse, allowing the vocals and lyrics to take center stage. The result is a deeply personal and introspective album that is as cathartic as it is beautiful.
The standout track on the album is "Be Born," which starts off slow and builds to a powerful crescendo. The lyrics are a call to action, urging the listener to embrace life and take risks. It's a song that is both inspiring and uplifting, and it perfectly encapsulates the message of the album as a whole.
