The aptly titled To Be Surrounded…, which takes its title from a Walt Whitman poem, feels like a gift to everyone currently missing the energy of live performance. The album’s eleven tracks not only capture the excitement of a top-notch band bringing some of their most beloved songs to life, but also that of organic collaboration.
The strong chemistry between Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart is at the heart of their sound, manifesting in tight vocal harmonies and imaginative guitar work. Fantasize Your Ghost is essentially an album of rock songs, but Ohmme push the boundaries of what that means, finding ways to seamlessly lapse into experimental territory.
