Locomotive Ghost

Locomotive Ghost writes folk-rock for nerds and lovers. They are a collection of musicians, poets, and artists who play guitar, piano, bass, ukulele, banjo, drums, and percussion. Together, they make music that draws from classic roots-rock influences like The Band and Paul Simon while incorporating contemporary inspirations such as Dave Matthews and Feist. The Calgary-based quartet samples their scientific backgrounds, exposes personal anecdotes, and injects artistic improbabilities to create “a mature and confident sound that stands out from a lot of other Canadian bands right now”.

 

Sproing!

We've been planning, plotting, and preparing for quite some time now, and at last we have something to show for it. The first of this year's four records is now available for purchase.  "Spring" is for sale in snazzy seven-inch vinyl format (with accompanying download card) at our shows, on our website, and in select Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, and Red Deer record stores. The digital album will also be available for purchase on our website and through all your favourite digital music outlets.

Over the next year, Locomotive Ghost will be releasing a series of four 7" vinyl records - each one corresponding to a season - exploring the emotional realities that come with each, and the passage of time. The project is entirely self-produced and nearly every possible aspect of it is DIY, from writing and recording, to visual design and record packaging, to themed event production and home-crafted merchandise.
