Release Notes:
--------
Miles ZunigaÆs got the perfect skill set for making pop music: attention to
melody, a multi-dimensional singing voice, a knack for writing catchy songs and,
most importantly, a fucked-up viewpoint on love. HeÆs got musical intelligence
too, evident on These Ghosts Have Bones, where his well-defined guitar and piano
playing makes each song stand out. His mostly electric arrangements sometimes
reflect the vocal melody and sometimes provide counterpoint. Considering the
instrumental diversity, the deluxe background vocals and multi-tracked
everything, there is a lot going on, but itÆs all done in good taste. The crown
jewel on the album is really the lyrics. From the Armageddon-report of ôThe
Weathermanö to the irony of ôWorking on a Love Songö, (in which the protagonist
is finishing an ode to his sweetheart on his way home from overseas, but when he
comes home, sheÆs already gone) itÆs a cleverly penned record. Even when
ZunigaÆs rhymes seem intuitive like on, ôYou CanÆt Break My Heartö, they still
ring true. Zuniga is best known as the guitarist for platinum-selling, modern
rockers Fastball. These Ghosts Have Bones is his first solo release. All told,
itÆs a really solid album that might leave you wondering, why hasnÆt he done
this before?
