Love, Time and the Fear of Death: Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s ‘Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw (Deluxe Edition)’

In October of 2022, Richard Edwards of the early 2000’s indie band Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s released an album about love, time, hope and most importantly, ketamine. Ghost Electricity/Vampire Draw wasn’t an experimental album more than it was an emotional one. Its songs contained Margot’s uniquely atmospheric indie rock sound, and the lyrical content was mostly familiar: nostalgia, love, redemption and in typical Margot fashion, drugs. It was a full-length album, consisting of 10 songs, but not quite a hefty one. It was layered instrumentally and lyrically, featuring reverberating piano and guitar lines.
