Dev has indicated Ghost 2 will be a physical disc, and that Travis Smith has done the artwork. So (hopefully) there is nothing to fear.

where?

Here's the quote; found by searching 'Travis Smith' in Dev's posts...

Tracklist:

Radial Highway
Drench
Mend
Fall
Watch You
Moonshine
Perspective
Coming Home
Saloom

Travis Smith did the art...having problems convincing management and labels that we should release it with the other two. Trying maybe a 'direct to consumer' approach... who knows.

My thing is I decided 'fuck it' and just finished the mix and artwork. Then it's ready and it'll find it's way out.

I really like the album. Darker than Ghost by a long shot but really 'vibe-y'.

...so, yeah.

I'd love to see a physical release, myself, but I'd be fine if we just got a download. Getting a record and pouring over it's contents is a pretty big part of why I love music so much; it's like looking at art. Files are convenient and all, but nothing beats actually having the album in your hands.

Pretty stoked to see the art, too... Dev, any word on when it may surface? Maybe even with the Deconstruction+Ghost pre-orders?

^ that doesn't say anything about a physical release. artwork can come in JPEGs too

Never said it did; he asked about Travis being involved and a physical release. Dev hasn't said anything about a physical copy coming out, to my knowledge, but that at least answered half his question. As I said, I'd like to see one, but I'll take a download over no Ghost 2 at all.

Same but I hope the download includes lossless files.

Cool as a download would be, it would be grand to have a physical disc. Maybe I'm just being bitchy, but personally, I don't count digital versions as albums.
Lookin' forward to seeing Travis' artwork!

Perhaps this was the easiest way to get Ghost 2 out at the same time as Decon and Ghost and the release date be June 20th. Maybe we'll see a physical Ghost 2 sometime later this year.

Hopefully Dev will stroll on in here to enlighten us on what the game-plan is, soon.

When you think about it, neither of the "Ghost" albums should come in a physical form.

Dev!!

What's happening with Ghost 2 now?????

Let's all calm down kids. While we're all curious about what's going on with Ghost 2, just remember that we have two full albums coming out next month, and Ghost 2 will manifest itself in some form in the future.

It deserves a proper release anyway (having heard some of these tunes at a couple of acoustic gigs last year)

....and Ghost 2 will manifest itself in some form in the future.

Ahh, I see what you did there.

Personally, as long as "Radial Highway" remains a guarantee, I can wait until the Sun goes Red Giant for the album to manifest.

^ O how thou speakest the truth!

i just want to dance in a gay bushman manner with a macabre twist when I listen to the preview on youtube.

Having heard in person, yes, great song and the one I'm looking forward to the most

Perspective is the song i really want to hear
