Hailing from the adorably named rural township of Tiny, Ontario, musician James Wyatt Crosby creates introspective indie chillwave on his new single Shadow Of A Ghost.
With a debut album released in 2017, James has gradually built a significant audience and critical acclaim with songs like Deep In Yr Mind, from his debut album Twins, and the woozy electronic track Lemonade (No I Never).
With the layered melodies of gently plucked guitar, loose wandering bass and hazy synths, Shadow Of A Ghost has the feeling of getting caught up in a daydream. Pensive vocals and instrumentation blossom in the form of a shimmering chorus, the song coasting on a feeling of introspection that reflects its creation, as James describes:
“This song was written during a time when it seemed like the fabric of reality was coming apart at the seams right in front of me. Life can be so beautiful but also so painful and disturbing and this song speaks about the way that loss and grief can change the way that you perceive yourself and the world around you. This song allowed me to move through some challenging times.”
