Album Notes

With an impending hiatus, Locomotive Ghost returned to the studio immediately upon completion of their successful Summer 2010 tour. After performing everywhere from tiny bookstores to massive night clubs and battling extremes of weather (from walls of fog to freak blizzards), the group turned road experiences into new tunes. Somehow, amidst the members’ other commitments of running a recording studio, finishing a music diploma, and raising a family, everything fell into place for the album project to be completed with just hours to spare. The product of that serendipity is Close Your Eyes and Listen. This second album demonstrates new depth and refined focus in the band’s sound. The songs are flowing and curvaceous, displaying heartfelt singing enveloped by mellow tones and dance-inciting grooves.

As part of the project's broader concept of expression, the new release will be made available for sale with individualized artwork. This and other visual elements will be presented online, so watch the website for juicy clips of the unexpected.
