Bitter Sweet: Palm Ghosts – 719 Desire Street

Palm Ghosts

“719 Desire Street”

Greenland

Palm Ghosts is the nom de plume of songwriter / producer Joseph Lekkas.  I love this album.  The music has that Americana sound to it, processed through an urban yet deserted existence.  There is an innate sadness to the album peppered with a sense of hope, slight though it may be.  This is great music for early evening or dawn when you feel a little blue and like that feeling.  Palm Ghosts reminds me of the solo work of Victor Krummenacher or Wilco.  Definitely a great record.  Lekkas, the time spent in your house of Greenland has definitely produced beautiful fruit.
