Latest in the excellent batch of very limited releases from Highpoint Lowlife is the dense experimental guitar textures of British sound artist Stray Ghost. Following a web-only release at the end of last year, already through HPLL, Stray Ghost now returns with Losthilde, an album counting four epic instrumentals clocking between twelve and twenty four minutes.

Claiming influences from Godspeed, Tim Hecker, Murcof, The Mars Volta, My Bloody Valentine and Autechre, amongst others, Stray Ghost is described on the HPLL website as creating ‘a mythic sound hybrid between shoegaze and ambient noise – deeply mesmerizing and deliciously immersive!’

The album is available as a digital download and as a very limited CDR release, which comes housed in a DVD type box with superb artwork.
