A good example is the record’s penultimate track, ‘Living Room’. Conjuring a gloomy, reverb-y atmosphere from guitar and patient percussion, the song allows Botticelli’s expressive vocals to take centre-stage. Botticelli says it is a song “about both loss and rebirth” which “tells of losing your home and sense of family, while also supporting a partner during their transition to the opposite gender.”

The lyrics approach this pretty directly, from talk of a missing father and empty rooms to fresh starts and new haircuts (“You look different now, your hair’s bleached to blonde / You cut it all off when you were reborn).” The result is something that feels at once bruised and resilient, which is a pretty good description of the music of GHOST GRL as a whole.

Rewired is out now and you can get it from the GHOST GRL Bandcamp page.
