“Ghosts” Lands On MetroMix’s Best Of 2010 List

“For their third album, “Ghosts,” the formerly fresh-faced power-pop pixies of One for the Team go world-weary and dark, examining doomed relationships and exhuming skeletons in the closet on an aptly titled collection of lyrically haunted tunes. Even as their words take a turn toward the despondent (sample chorus: “You’re not the one that I want / But I’ll take what you got / Because you’re here and they’re not”) the band’s ear for razor-sharp hooks and boy/girl harmonies remains as fine-tuned as ever, resulting in the oddly enjoyable contradiction of an album about defeat that often sounds downright triumphant.”
