Against this backdrop, Soord was navigating the drawn-out decline \u0026amp; eventual death of his father, alongside the continued progression of his mother’s Alzheimer’s. These experiences form the emotional spine of ‘Ghosts In The Park’ - grief in motion, memory surfacing unpredictably, \u0026amp; the quiet determination to keep moving forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcoustic guitar sits at the centre of the record, often captured in raw, first-take performances recorded directly in hotel rooms before being carefully integrated with studio recordings. This tension between fragility \u0026amp; control defines the album’s sound. Tracks such as “Concepción,” “Meet Me On The Downs,” \u0026amp; the title piece were conceived in specific places - Chile, Hamburg, Oberhausen - each location leaving a subtle imprint on the music. Parks, harbours, \u0026amp; anonymous rooms become recurring settings where past \u0026amp; present coexist, intersected by fleeting moments of clarity amongst the disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerformed almost entirely by Soord himself, with bass contributions from Jon Sykes on “Kept Me Thinking,” the album was recorded using a combination of hotel-room captures \u0026amp; studio sessions, preserving the immediacy of its origins. Mastered by Steve Kitch, ‘Ghosts In The Park’ stands as a stark, reflective \u0026amp; evolutionary companion piece to Soord’s acclaimed previous solo work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcepcion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePillars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeet Me On The Downs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept Me Thinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDay Of Wrath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur Predicament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStared Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Made A Promise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhosts In The Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 802644806327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kscope\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.15.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ShopTime Music \u0026 Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47001594200239,"sku":"STMM-127249018","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/4112\/7599\/files\/4505799-3558339.jpg?v=1780532012","url":"https:\/\/pureliverecords.shop\/products\/bruce-soord-ghosts-in-the-park-cd","provider":"Pure Live Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
