[edit] Ghostly Life
The band took a long time to make their first full-length album, Ghostly Life, because members were on tour with Damien Rice in 2003, Our Lady Peace in 2005, and also took time out to record and tour with other artists. The album is inspired by "art, politics, love, hate, life, loneliness, chaos, and good Scotch".
