We’re Ghost Now’s “Until
Death” features strong songwrit-
ing, the gypsy, Stephane Gra-
pelli-like lines of violinist Alex
Iannone, and the powerful but
tasteful rhythms of the Resnick
brothers, Max, bass, and Jake,
drums. After five years slugging
it out in the club scene with sev-
eral tours to his credit, the other
Resnick brother, lead singer-
guitarist Ben, has improved vo-
cally since the 2014 self-titled
debut LP. You’ll hear what I
mean on “Sadie,” the five-song
EP’s best track, which allows the
three Resnicks Brothers to exoti-
cally explore their Yiddish roots
alongside violinist Iannone on
an intro that would make Tevye
of “Fiddler on the Roof” proud.

The tune then turns into a rockin’
nugget about a lost loved one.
