Ghostkeeper’s latest release pivots between past and present, shuffling moccasins between the realms of the raven and rock and roll. Digitized cicadas announce lead single, “Lipstick”; “Dark at the Helm” shows off Shane Ghostkeeper and Sarah Houle’s pedigree as songwriters comfortable dancing with ghosts at unmarked crossroads on the prairies.

Amid synthetic drum patterns that threaten to succumb to bit rot and a darkening sky above that thins the boundary between our world and theirs, Cîpayak Joy revels in the infinite potential in being human among digital sculpture.
