Morrow’ comes carefully packaged in three different versions. There is a plain white punched card cover for the review copy, an atmospheric photo for the digipack which appears an edition limited to 150 copies, and one limited to 80 copies in a hardback booklet CD. Known as Mark Brend in his native Devon to the tax office, Ghostwriter constructs melodic soundscapes using a variety of instruments - some disused and forgotten - and delicate field recordings.
'Morrow' is a trick of time, of neatly edited lulling and longing, light-hearted but not esoteric and most of all witty. A fine storyteller rather than a master musician and multi-instrumentalist, Ghostwriter’s debut album consisted of tributes to various novelists.
Ghostwriter, who has recorded ‘Morrow’ with West Country musician Michael Paine, presents a showcase of excellent variety. The fifteen tracks only occasionally include the human voice and are mildly disorientating in their original coexistence. It is a culmination of musique concrète, field recordings, minimalism with snippets of piano, and folk and lullaby music. There is never a dull moment.
