NOEL returns triumphantly with “Heart Full of Ghosts,” a transformative five-track EP that perfectly balances the ethereal beauty of electronica and the body of organic instrumentation. Clocking in at just over 16 minutes, this project is an immersive experience that stays in the soul.
The title track, “Heart Full of Ghosts,” is the beating heart of the EP, a hypnotic and emotionally charged song that carries between its harmonies the weight of memories and the ghosts of a love that won’t burn away. NOEL’s ethereal soundscapes and emotive lyricism shape a landscape in which memories collide with heartache.
Another brooder, “Nightmares,” raises the journey higher, luring listeners deep into a dream world of sound that blends vulnerability with a dark, pulsing force. It’s a cinematic exploration of emotions and the whole EP together, weaving each track with the next for a cohesive, unpredictable ride.
“Heart Full of Ghosts” proves that NOEL can cut music that connects to an individual level while feeling universally human. The EP encourages listeners to confront their ghosts, from love to loss to longing, while getting lost in its hypnotic production and bare-bones storytelling.
