Tairrie B. recently issued the following update:

"Mick (Murphy, guitar) and I are happy to announce the official release date of August 21st, 2010 worldwide for our 6th full length studio album, Ghosts And Good Stories, on our new label, Tiefdruck-Musik and reveal our new cover art and band logo for the first time online today!

Not only did Mick write the music and play all the instruments on the new album but he also co-produced and mixed it with longtime friend Josh Lynch at Entourage Studios in North Hollywood and Weapons of Mass Productions in Santa Monica, California.

Our recording sessions were very organic and was nice to have the freedom to create and produce the album we wanted to make with no heavy handed pressure or deadlines from the label but instead, lots of support.

Tiefdruck Musik owner Daniel Heerdmann really loves and understands our music and band as does everyone at the label which is something we have not felt in a long time and it’s a welcome surprise.

While I was creating the album artwork, I wanted the feeling to be otherworldly and dark, unlike anything we have done in the past and to set the mood for the music which I think it does. The new cover art is actually a vintage portrait from my family album. It is a photo of my great grandparents in front of their home taken sometime in the early 1900’s which has been slightly altered. I came across the image last year as we were recording our new album and it just sort of spoke to me in a very haunting way. I was drawn to it over and over again while coming up with the albums title which is taken from the lead track 'Diggin For Ghosts'.

The album starts off very doomy and ends with a slow spoken word dirge over a musical soundscape that ties it all in from beginning to end but the record as a whole is definitely very brutal and up tempo with lots of rock riffs and my trademark scream vocals.

We have lots of exciting things to announce in the coming days and weeks so stay tuned to our blog here on My Space and our Facebook and Twitter pages to hear all the news!

We look forward to sharing our new album with all of you and can’t wait to play it live on stage once it’s released.

PS - When we say “WORLDWIDE” we mean it!"
