"Ghosts Of The Past" (2CD) - [FULL ALBUM STREAM] - [Making-of-the-Artwork]

Tooth & Nail Records proudly presents the two-disc Starflyer 59 set Ghosts Of The Past. For Starflyer 59, longevity and quality have gone hand-in-hand. Since 1993, California’s finest shoegazers have been churning out lush masterpieces that seem to only improve with time. Ghosts Of The Past features 31 tracks of covers, b-sides, demos, and non-album versions of songs. Jason Martin’s haunting vocal display perfectly accompanies the atmospheric mood set by the dreamy guitar lines, creating a sort of glimmering magic that could only come from one of Tooth & Nails most gifted. Over ten albums deep, over fifteen years time, from the early guitar-heavy shoegazing era to the ethereal moodiness of The Fashion Focus years to the latest incarnations and recreations of themselves as keyboard-driven masters of chorus, this is and always will be a band who will deliver great songs with new sounds. Ghosts Of The Past stands out as the perfect addition to a Starflyer 59 fan’s collection, and also a perfect starting point for someone interested in diving into the bands impressive and extensive catalogue.
