Meg Baird / Mary Lattimore - Ghost Forests (Green Vinyl)

Limited green colored vinyl LP pressing. Meg Baird and Mary Lattimore's collective work - as solo artists, band members, and collaborators - could fill a small record collection. Despite this productivity, these two long-time friends have never recorded an entire album focused exclusively on their unique talents. ""Ghost Forests"" mysteriously, thrillingly fills that void - within it's six collaborative compositions we hear deeply sympathetic conversations between the two artists. With access to a deep pool of shared influences, these two friends assembled a collection of sounds conjured from harp, guitar (both acoustic and electric), synths, the human voice, and a shared poetic language. Baird and Lattimore's subjects range from the sound of light on water, seismic geopolitical anxiety, the smog-exploded sunsets of Don Dudley's paintings, and vertigo from their respective relocations to San Francisco and Los Angeles from their once-shared home in Philadelphia.
