"Ghosts Will Come And Kiss Our Eyes is a collection of gently foreboding psych-folk, anchored as always by Mike's unique guitar sound and otherworldly, cracked vocals (think a sedated Daniel Johnson or Wayne Coyne). With Hammond and pump organs now featured prominently in the mix, much of the new material here sits on a thick, saturated foundation of shifting tones, drones and sustained chordings.

Superbly recorded by David Bryant (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Set Fire To Flames) at The Pines, his studio-cum-performance space near the old port in Montreal, Ghosts Will Come... brims with eerie atmosphere and intimate sonics, and is the most focussed Hrsta record to date."
