Europe

this is the secong full length by ghost mice. ghost mice is me (chris) on guitar, hannah jones on violin and pascaloo benvenuiti on many small intruments. this album is an attempt at something that hasn't been done very much in the DIY punk scene. it's a concept album. all of the songs are about the trip that hannah and i took to europe in the summer of 2,000. it was not a tour, it was a traveling trip. we stayed for 90 days. we didn't have enough money. we didn't know anyone in europe. needless to say the trip was really hard and we learned a lot about life. there is one song about each country and one song about each body of water we crossed by boat, for a total of 11 songs (36min). all of the songs fit together to tell the whole story of our trip. the lyrics don't always give a play by play (day by day) description of our trip but always relate to the countries we were in or how we felt in those countries. this is also pascaloo's first apperance on a ghost mice recording. (pascaloo is from france, we met him on our first tour there). this CD is also enhanced and had CDROM files including 198 photos that we took on our trip and a bunch of somewhat random MP3's (including totally michael and some ghost mice demos).
