Cherry Ghost's debut album, "Thirst for Romance," arrived in the summer of 2007, a collection of literate, melancholic chamber pop that belied its creators' then-tender years. The album spawned the UK top 20 hit "4-5-6," a deceptively upbeat track that showcased Aldred's knack for lyrical wordplay and melodic craft.
- The album was produced by Dan the Automator and Ewan Pearson. It was recorded at Severnhouse Studios in London. The album reached number 34 on the UK Albums Chart.
- The album's lead single, "It's Everything," was named Mark and Simon's Single of the Week by BBC Radio 1. The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2007.
- "Thirst for Romance" was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in 2007. The album sold over 100,000 copies in the UK.
Cherry Ghost is the indie rock project of singer-songwriter Simon Aldred. The group emerged from Manchester in the mid-2000s.
