Because of Ghosts

BECAUSE OF GHOSTS ARE A THREE-PIECE INSTRUMENTAL ACT BASED IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.

Because of Ghosts’ debut album, ‘The Tomorrow We Were Promised Yesterday’, will be released in Australia and New Zealand in October 2006. The album is a culmination of many months of both precise and raw production. The band utilised the stifling humidity of a North Melbourne warehouse, the natural reverb of a Johnston Street garage, the ambiance of Soundpark’s parquetry, field recordings from Japan, and the warmth of friends, family and two-inch tape.

For those who came in late...Because Of Ghosts have been performing their own brand of instrumental music since late 2002. After some well received demos, brothers Reuben, Domenic and Jacob independently released 'Make Amends With Your Adversary Before Dawn'. This record gained an international release with Japanese label Wonderground Music.

In 2004, the band independently released 'Your House Is Built On A Frozen Lake'. This EP established the band's strong Melbourne following and widened their fan base nationally. 'the because of ghosts live 12" with an etching on side b' was released through Art School Dropout Records late 2004, consisting of four tracks recorded live in Sydney. A successful tour of Japan followed.

In February 2006, ‘No More Reason, No More Doubt - Selected Recordings 2002 - 2004’ was released on Art School Dropout Records. This release consisted of 11 recordings, including now deleted EP tracks and live recordings, and is the definitive precursor to ‘The Tomorrow We Were Promised Yesterday’.
