The Acorn announced their forthcoming No Ghost LP with a fantastic title track. The album’s next listen, “Restoration,” is less immediately epic, hitting its stride two minutes into the three-and-a-half minute cut with train-track drums and Rolf Klausner’s affecting vocal soar. The lyrics allude to nature and mortality, themes toyed with on 2007′s Glory Hope Mountain. But No Ghost has a story free from Glory, part of a trilogy the band began in 2004 and continued with a pair of EPs in the following years. Restorative, airy, and full of uplift:
