“Real Ghosts Caught On Tape” is Fake Problems’ third album and sees them moving from their folkpunk roots into indie rock territory without ever looking back. It comes with a production job by Ted Hutt, which has become somewhat of a guarantee for a damn fine album over the last couple of years. Yup, this one has ‘big plans’ written all over it.

While I wasn’t a big fan of this album’s predecessor, the Florida outfit immediately wins me over this time around with opener “ADT”… happy, upbeat indie music the way it’s meant to be played. Next up is ‘5678” which is a little more danceable, something that comes back later on in “Soulless”. Not that they have a problem with slowing down as is aptly proven with songs like “Songs For Teenagers” and “White Lies”.

With “Real Ghosts Caught On Tape” Fake Problems made a solid album that nicely combines 60ies pop sensibilities with indie pop/rock that should appeal to a lot of boys and girls out there who are looking for an album that will make autumn feel like summer all over again.
