Holy Ghost is the sound of Modern Baseball growing up fast, presented here as the CD edition of the Philadelphia band's 2016 album.

Released on Run For Cover Records, it was the band's last full-length before they went on hiatus, and it shows a group shedding its scrappy, wisecracking image for something more raw and serious. The album is split down the middle, with Jake Ewald writing and singing the first half and Brendan Lukens taking the second, giving it the feel of two honest diaries bound together.

Ewald's side opens with the title track and quickly builds to "Wedding Singer," a burst of urgent guitars and heartfelt lyrics, while "Everyday" keeps the momentum high with ringing chords and a big, sincere chorus. Lukens' half is noisier and more anxious, unguarded in a way that feels almost too personal, before closing track "Just Another Face" ends things on a quiet, unresolved note.

The songs are short, sharp and emotionally direct, drawing on emo, punk and indie rock in equal measure. There's no wasted space, and the production keeps everything close.

For fans of honest, emotionally charged guitar music, Holy Ghost is a standout. It captures a band at a turning point, and its themes of grief and recovery give it a weight that lingers long after the final chord.
