Ghost Notes (CD)

Ghost Notes is the first album from Toronto singer-songwriter Matthew Barber since 2005s Sweet Nothing. Produced by Barber himself, it stands as his most mature collection of songs to date. The songs of Ghost Notes were cut mainly live-off-the-floor and entirely to analog tape. The result is a sound that tips its hat to many of the records of the 1970s that Barber adores. While no attempt was made to sound particularly retro it was a conscious decision on the part of Barber and veteran engineer Ken Friesen to avoid computers and the modern pro tools sound as much as possible. Barber said he wanted to connect more intimately with the listeners than he has on previous records. All in all Ghost notes is more of a traditional singer songwriter record than Barbers two most recent releases.
