Black vinyl re-press. Originally released in 2022, Ghosts met with deserved critical acclaim, being included in many album-of-the year lists and seeing Haress leave their base in the Shropshire hills to play festivals such as Supersonic, Krankenhaus and Boundaries and share stages with Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Shovel Dance Collective, Big Brave, and Steve Von Till among others. Recorded in a disused water mill over a week in North Wales, Ghosts feels like the perfect blend of free-wheeling accident and careful orchestration, both site-specific and uncanny in its evocation of place and time. Circumstance and environment shape the music -- rough drones and found sounds naturally link together beautiful guitar-and-drum pieces, as vocals and trumpet float in and out like the specters the album title suggests. Ghosts feels delightfully unpredictable but complete and singular, inviting repeated listens and an emotional connection like few others. FFO: Lungfish, Tinariwen, Earth, Fairport Convention, Talk Talk.

"This blissed-out psychedelia is not quite pastoral -- there's nothing twee about these unwinding grooves -- yet evokes water and wood, light and shadow, a place of forgotten labor and the absent human form with a beguiling grace." --The Quietus
