Ghost in the Water: “The Neon Forest”

by Will Wlizlo · Published August 5, 2011 · Updated January 24, 2023

There’s no ballad like an electropop ballad. “The Neon Forest”—a new track from Minneapolis’ Ghost in the Water—underlines lovesick, 80s-junior-prom melodrama with bold strokes of luminous synthesizer and vocal harmony. The duo put out Shooting Stars and Battle Scars in June and are just finally celebrating its release on Saturday at the 331 Club. You can preview the rest of the album on Bandcamp.
