This record started with a simple idea: what if houses had memories? What if, when we lived in them, our stories bled
       into the walls and became a part of the house? What if our ghosts were always going to haunt the places we've lived,
       along with everyone else who's lived there? Some of these songs are from the point of view people still living their
       lives in one of these houses; some are from the point of view of those dead and gone, watching over the living or
       haunting them; some are from people visiting home, after being away for along time, and the familiar ghosts of childhood
       all coming back to remind you of the way things used to be. This is a quintessential singer/songwriter album, or, rather
       a songwriting album, with tracks as carefully arranged interiors, chamber folk, pocket symphonies, passionate melodies.
       Ben Cooper recorded this album almost entirely alone, in a small shed in Jacksonville Beach, Florida: another one of
       those houses full of stories. He recorded the guitars and drum patterns, the banjos, organs and keyboards and sang in
       chorus with himself. He let the instruments take a deep breath and created a breathing record, a lively, warm
       Ghost.
