Meg Baird and
Mary Lattimore are both California transplants from the Philly indie scene where they worked separately with
Kurt Vile,
Steve Gunn, and
Jack Rose, to name a few, as well as on
Baird's
Seasons on Earth in 2011. Despite being friends and crisscrossing musical paths for more than a decade,
Ghost Forests marks the first time the two musicians have collaborated as a duo. The pair played together at Three Lobed's Hopscotch Festival in the mid-2010s, setting the stage for this recording.
