Released in the spring, “I Grow Tired…” gained acclaim from critics for its sense of deeply seated menace and paranoia, a blast of tense, alt rock driven by Obaro Ejimiwe’s idiosyncratic vocals and rangy, jagged storytelling, fuelled by fear, exhaustion and anger. The record is visceral and alive, a potent reminder of just how unique and essential a talent Ghostpoet is. A fitting soundtrack for our uneasy times, it had everyone from the Telegraph, Uncut, Q and more all lauding it with rave reviews.
