The particular cruelty of being left on read.
What is Ghost read about?
Ghost read is about being ignored in the most modern way possible: the message delivered, the little tick that says it's been seen, and then nothing. It's about how much silence can say, and how much space it takes up in your head.
At under two minutes it's the shortest song on the album, which suits it: it ends before you're ready, the same way the conversation did.
What does Ghost read sound like?
Short, sharp and over almost before it starts.
