Gileah Taylor and her backing Ghost Train create a hauntingly beautiful chorus in 2007’s self-titled release.
The album spans a great distance in range and emotion, from the throbbing dirge “The Devil” to the blooming optimism of “The Spirit”. The band finds its voice in “The Shadow,” exploring mystery through a jangly, piano-driven chorus. Most interestingly is Gileah’s ability to bend genres, as in the spiritual-turned-pop track “The Slave” with its declarations of “surely, surely, surely,” “swing low,” and “meet you at the river.”
Gileah proves to be a voyage of biblical proportions. Delicate vocals echo out over tight melodies, leaving this album to haunt your memory spin after spin.
Would put on a mixtape between: Eisley and The Innocence Mission
Tracks to sample: “The Slave” (iTunes), “The Shadow” (iTunes), “The Lazarus” (iTunes)

Boring music from Over the Rhine, The Elms, Ezekiel’s Eye, Eisley and Wes Burdine and the Librarians. A tired interview with campus minister Todd Magruder on new trends in young Christians. And a sleepy listener response. Yawn.
