The 11-songs that make up Gross Ghost’s Brer Rabbit are the culmination of two years packed full with disconnected phone lines, unreliable transportation/gear, lost jobs, friends and family members and yet, some undeniably fun times for the band. The album is a collection of previously released tracks from the bands first two EPs, all remixed and remastered, in addition to a handful of new songs. Over the last couple of years in the lives of Mike and Tre, the duo behind Gross Ghost, these songs were written during found hours, in between tireless jobs and sketchy paychecks. A vessel for an escape of any kind was what brought these songs to life. It’s been a long time coming, but we hope you find something to take from their scant retelling of how they saw the sights around them.
Brer Rabbit is available now as a limited edition pressing of 300 twelve-inch clear vinyl and for digital download. ORDER NOW at Insound.
