The Mal Thursday Quintet is back with a new double A-side, suitable for both Halloween playlists and year-round play. "Pub of Fear" is a barrelhouse horrorshow about a purgatory-like tavern straight outta The Twilight Zone. "In Love With a Ghost," written by San Antonio's Hans Frank El Gallo (Sacred Teens, Glambilly), tells the tale of a star-crossed young man in the death throes of a relationship, haunted by a beautiful ghost out of the past. With four Bandcamp-exclusive bonus tracks.
