Review Round-Up with Bryan Menegus Capsule- No Ghost Following their daunting 2008 debut, Blue, it seems Capsule have put their sound to the grindstone. For starters, the production value has increased tenfold: each angular shard of guitarwork is felt, every winding bass riff feels like a twisting tourniquet—and the vocals are audible! More than that, their songwriting is as chaotic as ever, but somehow more purposeful, leaner and more self-assured. If the heady, challenging blend of early screamo, math-rock and hardcore they put forward on Blue impressed you (or didn’t leave you with a headache), No Ghost is bound to satisfy.

Capsule- No Ghost

Following their daunting 2008 debut, Blue, it seems Capsule have put their sound to the grindstone. For starters, the production value has increased tenfold: each angular shard of guitarwork is felt, every winding bass riff feels like a twisting tourniquet—and the vocals are audible! More than that, their songwriting is as chaotic as ever, but somehow more purposeful, leaner and more self-assured. If the heady, challenging blend of early screamo, math-rock and hardcore they put forward on Blue impressed you (or didn’t leave you with a headache), No Ghost is bound to satisfy.
