Ghost is the debut

studio album by the American music act Radical Face. It was released on March 2, 2007, through Morr Music.[1]

Ghost is a concept album based on the idea of houses retaining stories of what has happened in them. Each song is a story, some told from the house's point of view. Ben Cooper cited an old house he lived in as one of the inspirations for Ghost. Most of his work on the album was done in an old tool shed behind his house. Cooper, Mark Hubbard, and Alex Kane collaborated with Emeral Cooper for some tracks on the album.

Ghost has been compared to musical acts such as Pinback, The Mountain Goats, Sufjan Stevens, The Postal Service,[2] Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Paul Simon,[3] and Animal Collective.[4]
