After a number of critically acclaimed releases which earned him a fanbase in the US, UK and Canada, Ari Shine was ready to make his first truly definitive album. The 10 songs on Ghost Town Directory (Beverly Martel) cover a broad range of styles and feature a wide screen sound which give Shine’s already anthemic tunes a radio ready sheen. Gutsy rockers like the opening “All I’ve Got is Love” and the hometown kiss off “Against the Night” mingle with more atmospheric tracks like “Here With Me” and “Simple”, the latter featuring rich pads of harmonies in a decidedly 70s vein. Shine has racked up plenty of miles opening for artists like Rhett Miller, John Doe, Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers, Redd Kross, Silversun Pickups, the Donnas, Liam Finn and many others.
