Van Walker - New Album - Ghosting
GHOSTING: Recorded by Jeff Lang & Dave Walker (in Fawkner 2015/Geelong 2019)
Mixed by Jeff Lang, Mastered by Phil Georges.
Released on Green South Records.
Spirit World is the spellbinding lead single from Van Walker’s first solo album in a decade, reminding us once again why he's rightly regarded as one of the finest songwriters in the land.
From the formidable forthcoming album Ghosting, the song is a haunted, mysterious composition, as straight-up vulnerable as it is mercurial, but someone is missing someone, and dabbling in the dark arts as a means to bring them back, dead or alive!
The song, like much of the album, is stark and brutally honest, with just bass and fingerstyle acoustic guitar, and the added spark of Australia's most revered roots musicians and no stranger to disturbed folk, guitar wizard Jeff Lang weaving his magic on dobro between the enchanted lyric of reverie and sorcery.
