Ghostpoet live at The Kazimier in Liverpool
Ghostpoet is pleased to announce news of his forthcoming album ‘Shedding Skin’, 2nd March 2015 through Play It Again Sam.
‘Off Peak Dreams’ the first single - already premiered on Radio One and been enthusiastically received on 6music and Xfm - sees Ghostpoet, London-based Obaro Ejimiwe moving on from the cathartic musings of 2013’s ‘Some Say I So I Say Light’ album.
The accompanying video for ‘Off Peak Dreams’ was directed by Liam St Pierre. Given a budget matching the average monthly salary in the UK, he was asked to create a film about the constraints of city living.
Artists can ordinarily spend anything between £5k - £500k on a video.
This was shot for £2068

‘Shedding Skin’ is the manifestation of a new challenge, of fresh thinking, and a brave confident stride into previously uncharted waters. Ten songs that embrace, unite and narrate observations that are designed to sit beside each other through bright peaks and dark shallows.
Unlike his previous albums, ‘Shedding Skin’ was recorded with a traditional live set up with what has become his touring band; Joe Newman on guitar, bass player, John Calvert and John Blease on drums. The self-produced album also features guest vocals from Nadine Shah, Etta Bond, Melanie De Biasio, Lucy Rose and Maxïmo Park’s Paul Smith, a collection that sets a new precedent as his very best work yet.
‘Shedding Skin’ is
Off Peak Dreams
X Marks The Spot
Be Right Back, Moving House
Shedding Skin
Yes, I Helped You Pack
That Ring Down The Drain Kind Of Feeling
Sorry My Love, It’s You Not Me
Better Not Butter
The Pleasure In Pleather
Nothing In The Way
