EnglandcollapsedMar 16, 2009Its glorious, from pity dance to braid of voices, the songs are ethereal, moving and beautiful. My favourite record this year, by a mile.

MarkFMar 29, 2009Wonderfully dense. David Stith's vocals, musicianship and musical vision make this an compelling listen, an album to be explored and absorbed. For a point of reference I'd put him somewhere between Sufjan and Grizzly Bear.

Sep 17, 2011A terrifyingly gorgeous album that exudes a sense of eeriness and duskiness, that is in itself unique and magical. Heavy Ghost lives up to its name, and DM Stith has made a great first impression on the independent music scene.

Much like the title of his debut, Indiana’s curious ringmaster Stith is a contradiction in terms. Don’t be put off--he’s a contradiction worth losing yourself to.
-
Like a futuristic remake of "The Wicker Man," it is all splintered beats and frosty light-night soul, and at best, as on 'Pity Dance,' quite remarkable.
-
Even if Heavy Ghost doesn’t feel fully unfurled--or if it unfurled for too long, with all those years spent gestating--Stith still continues to demonstrate his symphonic talents and deep care for texture and timbre.
