Vera Sola announces 'Ghostmaker' EP
Months after unveiling their sophomore studio album Peacemaker, folk artist Vera Sola will deliver a special EP with some familiar tunes.
Revealed today, Ghostmaker finds the artist reworking a handful of songs from Peacemaker. The five-song release will be released on November 15 via City Slang. To celebrate the announcement, Sola has delivered their new single ”The Ghostmaster’s Daughter,” which has been played live on the road. Sola said this about the single, which can be heard here:
“This is a song that originally was set to be on my most recent album, Peacemaker, but didn’t fit sonically or thematically. Since the record release, however, it’s become a favorite to play. I’ve also received countless requests for where to find it. Here is the answer. I re-recorded it following the first leg of the tour, and offer it up as just my voice and guitar, as close to what you’d hear from me on stage as possible.
In brief it’s a love story staged across lifetimes—which at its core touches upon the possibility of transformation and transcendence. The end of a romance doesn’t have to mean the end of love. All that ends offers a chance at a beginning. Along with it is to come a handful of reimagined tracks from the full Peacemaker LP. Reimagined might not be the right word. Remembered is more like it; as I wanted to present what these songs were like when I wrote them initially.”
Sola will have a string of shows across Europe this fall. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
