Halo 33
Ghosts V: Together
Ghosts V: Together is the brighter half of a paired instrumental release by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Slow harmonic movement, piano, drones, and patient repetition give the record an open and restorative character without reducing it to background music.
Released without charge alongside Ghosts VI: Locusts during the opening weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, the album extends the Ghosts method while presenting a clearly distinct emotional register.
