Ghosts of the Past (Limited Edition)

Talk of a new Eskimo Joe album started while the Australian band was still on the European leg of the 'Inshalla' tour in 2009, but the demoing process didn't start until October, 2010. It was at this point when Kav, Joel and Stu headed to Wave House in WA's South-West. There were a few firm ideas, but it was mainly a time for the old friends to re-connect as musicians.

These moments resulted in "When We Were Kids", a reflective song that gave birth to the overall theme of the 'Ghosts in the Past' album. Interestingly, the lyrical themes emerging in songs such as "Gave It All Away", mirrored what the band were going through in terms of a reconciliation with their own musical past.

Armed with some bare-boned demos and a commitment to reigning in the production, Eskimo Joe recorded the album at The Grove studios on the NSW Central Coast. It was the shortest amount of studio time the band had ever booked for an album, yet likely the most creative they've ever been while standing in one.
