Ghost World
Armadillo Cafe
Ghost World's fourth album, 'Armadillo Café,' is a slice of life depiction of a fictional café, its customers, and staff. The moods of the album change from one person to another, just like the people in the café. The lyrics of the songs consist of amusingly sad, relatable stories. Musically, 'Armadillo Café' is like something straight out of the 'Gilmore Girls' soundtrack at times, while at other times the whole thing is like the best effort of a dusty and forgotten '70s rock band. The full-length was recorded live on reel-to-reel tape under the direction of Aleksi Karppinen, and it was mixed by Graham Hunt, a well-known visionary musician. The whole thing was finished with mastering by Justin Perkins, whose hand can be heard on albums by The Replacements, among others. Ghost World promises that the album will tempt you to bang on air drums and give your friends high-fives. Edition on pink vinyl, limited to 200 copies.
