The Musiquarium’s Ghosts VI: Locusts Review Score: 7 out of 10

Released for free alongside Ghosts V: Together at the start of the international COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, this collection of ambient music is more eerie than the optimistic music found on Ghosts V, reflecting the uncertainty of the pandemic and the state of the world.

As I stated in my Ghosts V review, I’ve never been too keen on ambient music, as I don’t quite have the attention-span to listen to it, but music like this is perfect for background music, though this volume would be more suitable for a horror film than a massage. It’s all well made, just a little boring compared to a more conventional NIN record.
