Even Us Ghosts album details
The album’s creation is mostly by the band. With additional collaboration from Joe Marsh at Orchard Studios and mixing by Adrian Hall.
Ethan Proctor, the band’s vocalist shares his thoughts on the writing process:
“Even us ghosts is a step in an unexpected direction for the band. Initially I wanted to make a heavier sounding album, and what we created was something quite different to that initial vision. I was listening to lots of bands like The Wonder Years, the first Four Year Strong records and my favourite record by Manchester Orchestra ‘Cope’. In all of them there is something special in the lyrics and guitar work. It’s crunchy, the voices are real and melancholic, and I wanted that in our sound. Rather than chase a sound I thought we wanted, we followed the ideas flowing, and leaning into the unknown took us somewhere we are really proud of. The songs feel honest, but with an energy that is less angsty – remaining hopeful and uplifting.
The arrangements came together around laptops whilst producing and recording, rather than in a loud practice room which was a first for us. This new approach helped to be creative with different instrument pallets, additional layering and gave us time to properly share our ideas.”
The album explores contemporary themes, exploring into different nuances of living in your twenties. Situations like, becoming independent mental health, heartbreak, going back home, and celebrating thing that matter most.
Along with the album release is its last single, “Where Oceans Swallow Your Skies.” A melancholic but uplifting tune that even on your lowest. When you connect with the people you are closest can help you come through
