Ghostlimb Releasing New Album "Difficult Loves"

Coming February 5th, 2016 on Vitriol Records, Los Angeles band Ghostlimb presents its fifth full-length album: "Difficult Loves." Stream new Ghostlimb track "Treason Fluently" taken off the album in the player below.

Ghostlimb is the trio fronted by Justin Smith, owner of Vitriol Records and mastermind behind Graf Orlock, the movie-obsessed grinders whose new album "Crime Traveler" is also scheduled for a February 5th release on Vitriol. While Graf Orlock mines the language and symbols of Hollywood to create its concept-heavy music, Ghostlimb is Smith's more direct, personal outlet.

In Smith's words: "I feel like 'Difficult Loves' is the most developed in what we have sought to do over the last ten years. True to form, it is about history, politics, and environmental stuff but it brings in a lot more from the literary realm. The title of the record is from an Italo Calvino book. It is about glimpses into normal peoples' lives – more about capturing a feeling than being a crusader of some dialectical change."

New album "Difficult Loves" was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Whirr, Beau Navire). The track listing is as follows:

1. A Gobi of Suburbs
2. Sense of Place
3. Hostility Compelling
4. Wall of Books
5. Difficult Loves
6. Brushfire
7. Folds in the Sheets
8. Nine
9. Addressee Relocated to Cemetery
10. Treason Fluently
