Album Notes & Community Reviews

Steeped in shimmering reverberation and trick studio effects, 'Haunted Guitar' elevates standard instrumental repertoire into the realm of high-fidelity exotica. The heavily processed guitar tones create an ethereal, slightly eerie atmosphere designed to test the limits of early stereo equipment.
