Mary Halvorson Makes The Lists At The Quietus And Treblezine

“About Ghosts is a masterclass in orchestration and pacing,” writes the Quietus. “Mary Halvorson perfectly balances all-out ensemble passages with quieter, more stripped-back moments.” The album is on the site’s list of best albums from 2025. Check that out here.

The set, at radio from Nonesuch, also made Treblezine’s list. “Mary Halvorson leans back” the site writes, “delivering a more playful set of new pieces compared to the intense and often somewhat esoteric Bone Bells from earlier this year. Her guitar still sounds like it’s made of rubber, as close to a Looney Tunes rendering in sound as you can get, really. The harmonic choices are still hip and the melodic motion is spry and surprising but always, always fun. The past four years have seen half a dozen records from Halvorson, all with quite different character. It’s a blessed wonder, her creativity.” See their list here.
