Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin return with Ghosted III, an exercise in patient momentum where jazz interplay and ambient textures unfurl across spacious pieces. Across the record the trio's collaborative chemistry fuels gradual development, and critics note the way grooves and spectral guitar figures bloom into unexpected melodic moments.
The Quietus awarded Ghosted III an 80/100 consensus score from one professional review, praising standout tracks “Yek”, “Chahar” and “Shesh” for their distinct shapes: “Yek” as a billowing cluster of guitar licks, “Chahar” as a compact jazz swing, and “Shesh” closing with a booming post-rock crescendo that withholds neat resolution. Reviewers consistently highlight buoyant bass, percussion motors and Ambarchi's shimmering effects as the tactile pleasures that tie the record together.
While the album favors subtlety over immediate hooks, the consensus suggests Ghosted III rewards patient listening, especially for those interested in the crossover between improvisatory jazz and ambient-post-rock dynamics. For readers searching for a focused Ghosted III review or wondering what the best songs on Ghosted III are, “Yek”, “Chahar” and “Shesh” emerge as the most frequently praised moments and a clear entry point into the trio's restrained, evocative world.
