Purchase this vinyl soundtrack and receive a New Town Ghosts book for free!
The New Town Ghosts soundtrack features 10 songs with lyrics that represent the narrative journey of the book. Over 40 musicians contributed to the project which was recorded live over a period of three years. Live horns, strings, a choir and a four-part harmony structure sees the summer of 1976 jump back to life through the eyes of young boys who desperately want to get a skateboard but end up falling deep into the bowels of the earth. The songs are designed to feel like the music that played on portable radios in garages and gardens during a summer that was once regarded as the hottest on record. Reservoirs run dry and swarms of ladybirds gather round the cracks in the ground. Will they get out alive? Think Kes meets Stand By Me. Get ready for and exciting ride!
