$29.99
SKU: SBON43C3.1

Artist: Daniel Davies

Album: Ghost of the Heart

In the last decade, Daniel Davies has become a lauded composer of atmospheric,

synth-heavy instrumental music-for film and TV scores, alongside John

Carpenter on the director's Lost Themes albums, and on solo releases like Signals

and Spies. But in his previous musical life, Davies was a rocker, touring all over

the world with heavy bands like Year Long Disaster and Karma to Burn. After

setting rock music aside to focus on his soundtrack and instrumental work, the

multi-instrumentalist has found himself falling back in love with loud guitars

over the past couple of years.

Ghost of the Heart, the first full-length alt-rock album Davies has ever released

under his own name, captures the excitement of that rediscovered love. After

a decade of making music that either had to match a filmed image or create a

mental one, he sounds liberated by the concrete, reliable logic of verse/chorus/

verse. The songs on Ghost of the Heart don't fit neatly into any one subgenre:

they're moody, heavy, and a little proggy, but with a strong pop sensibility and

lots of melody. The album divulges Davies' affinity for hooky, forward-thinking

bands like Radiohead and Blur, but more than anything, Ghost of the Heart feels

natural, like he's tapping back into something fundamental about himself as a

musician. "My first love is writing rock songs," Davies says. "It just felt like the

right time to get back to it."

Ghost of the Heart is a special album for Davies. It sees him returning to his

origins in rock music, but it also couldn't have been made without the lessons of

his time in the film world. In the truest sense, it's a career-defining work, one that

showcases everything he's learned in his decades as a musician. It reveals a door

that, now opened, can take Davies anywhere he wants to go.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.

This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.

OUR STANDARD

Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.

We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:

If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.

WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8

Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.

A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.

We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4

Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:

Bindery characteristics:

  • Minor to moderate corner tears
  • White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
  • Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)

Printing characteristics:

  • Slight color rub on back covers
  • Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
  • Wavy paper texture from the printing process

Spine characteristics:

  • 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
  • Minor non-color-breaking spine dings

These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.

OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY

We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.

We will replace or refund:

  • Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
  • Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
  • Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped

For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
