Familiar Ghosts

You never know what you'll find among the junk when you are moving house. Amid the old socks, unfinished holiday books and cups full of loose change buried at the back of the drawer, you can find some treasures too. That's what happened to Shane Nicholson, and now those long-forgotten gems are the basis for his new album Familiar Ghosts.

"The title Familiar Ghosts comes from one of the songs that didn't make the record, but I had that in mind as a theme right from the start, about these songs that hang around and won't go away. They didn;t fit the last record, they might not fit the next one, but I had a great time creating a home for them at last"
