Black Casino and The Ghost – Wolf Is Howling free download!

Hot on the heels of their recent EP Falling Into Pieces, Black Casino and The Ghost have released a brand new track entitled Wolf Is Howling as a free download!

Wolf Is Howling is melodic and has an eerie feel to it which is backed up by the sound of a piano. If Wolf Is Howling is anything to go by, then Black Casino And The Ghost’s next release could be even more special than Falling Into Pieces. Elisa Zoot’s voice is as powerful as ever and she could easily give fellow redhead Florence Welch a run for her money, although it’s not really suggested as she could pull all sorts of muscles.
