Lonely Ghost sounds nice, but feels like needs to be enjoyed as part of a greater whole. While Holy, Holy doesn't always works (and I was been pretty mid on the Black Midi hype before), it has both the nice feeling of nostalgia (all the ironic smooth-man lounge-meets-alt-rock of the late 90s) as well as the modern uber-noisy/throw-it-all-on-the-wall approach that it works in spite of it's frequent self-awareness.

Holy, Holy is pretty good but Lonely Ghost is the one I want more of. Great ambient track, will definitely check out the full album.

Lonely Ghost does what ambient is supposed to do; pull you in. This sonic ghost of reversed sound texture and a lingering synth so subtle the average listener won't ever recognize it, tries to communicate a broken tale from a few centuries ago. But it remains mysterious and eerie, and it gives the best impact. That one is a straight masterpiece, and elevates it to a higher plane of sound art. This one managed to send chills down my stomach. Also, the guy who made this is apparently 14 years old, that's impressive.

Geordie feels too try-hard, like most of black midi. Sorry.

Geordie Greep.

It's an odd matchup. Greep does so much on his track that it makes the other just seem like... well, nothing.
