We will proudly release the self-titled sophomore album from Ghostkeeper on March 9th, 2010. No stranger to the Canadian music scene, Ghostkeeper has been serving up slices of homegrown, experimental, folk songs since their first release in 2008. The band has found a solid home within the Flemish Eye roster and will soon embark on a national tour in support of their album. You can listen, and download, a track from their latest album here.
Affected as we all are by the humanitarian crisis in Haiti, we have decided to offer all mail order sales income to the relief effort for the month of January. 100% of net sales in our store will be donated to the ongoing effort at The Humanitarian Coalition, which will be needing donations for months to come to help bring assistance to people in the region. (This means everything after the bare cost to make the album & shipping.)
Be rewarded for your donation to this cause with a gift of music. Alternatively, you can donate directly to them here.
A year after Soft Airplane, Chad is offering up a companion EP as a free digital download to fans. From the same creative timeframe as Soft Airplane, these tracks cover some of the same themes that run through the album. However, while meditations on birth, love, death, and our fragile ecosystem play out over broken drum machine beats and acoustic stompers, these estranged B-sides – some playful impromptu tunes, or rough first takes – exist as a leaner and often more light-hearted complement to the album. The songs on this EP show another side of the magic that happens in Chad's basement. Enjoy.
