...Started in 2001 as a solo project by Eric Crespo (guitarist for the Portland art rock band Alarmist), Ghost to Falco, now backed by a drummer and bass player, performs mournful songs that are unsettlingly beautiful, like a peaceful morning before a funeral.

His 2004 debut, Torn or Broken, Shadowed or Dark, Cast Off All Doubts and Ride the Flames to Freedom, is a five-song plunge into the icy waters of non-being; echoing with empty space and soft voices, it pulls at the spirit like a death wish.
