Don't forget you can download the track "Distance" for free while there.  We don't have a pre-order as Bandcamp doesn't allow full album stream alongside a pre-order, but we might find a way around that shorlty, so keep an eye on this space.

How about a sample track?  Listen to "Honest" right here then head over for the full album stream.

Limited Vinyl?  Ghosts I've Met?  Yes, it's true.  Today marks the release of the 12" vinyl LP for Ghosts I've Met's 'From A Spark' album.  Swing by the Yer Bird Store to pick up this beautiful 12" translucent vinyl offering from our own Seattle singer songwriter.  Beautifully transitioned to vinyl (and recorded at 45 rpm for additional listening pleasure) is almost too pretty to play...almost.  The original artwork from Sam Richardson is stunning in full size and you don't want to miss out on this.

The album is in a limited run, so once gone it is gone and can be purchased from our store as well as from Sam Watts directly at all upcoming shows of Ghosts I've Met.

Happy Monday.
