Belgian/Canadian duo GHOSTWOMAN are all about finding freedom in a reckless space. On the upcoming album Welcome to the Civilized World, they take this notion head-on and put it center stage.

The album was recorded on an old tape recorder using old instruments. The recording space was a home they didn’t bother to treat for sound, and the lyrics came long after the songs, which the duo let flow through them without any pesky overthinking. What they’ve created is something organic that oscillates around different sounds all tied together by the aforementioned conditions and nostalgic inspiration.

The album’s debut single “Alive” takes on a vintage country rock sound, not quite like the Byrds, and not quite like Whiskeytown, but something that takes you to both of those places simultaneously.  

Welcome to the Civilized World is out September 5th on Full Time Hobby and Dine Alone Records.
