Ghost Forests 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 their productivity, these long-time friends have never recorded an entire album focused exclusively on their unique talents. “Ghost Forests” fills that void with its six collaborative compositions, showcasing deeply sympathetic conversations between the two artists. Drawing from a deep pool of shared influences, Baird and Lattimore have crafted a collection of sounds using harp, acoustic and electric guitars, synths, the human voice, and a shared poetic language. The album explores subjects such as the sound of light on water, seismic geopolitical anxiety, the smog-exploded sunsets of Don Dudley’s paintings, and the vertigo experienced from their respective relocations to San Francisco and Los Angeles from their once-shared home in Philadelphia.
