We're featuring this track on goodmusicinc.net's weekly 'hump day freebies' themed 'study time' :) will be posted on Wednesday next week.

'Ghostflake' is the second (and last) in a small series of b-sides released this year from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/owlsoftheswamp">Owls of the Swamp</a> (the indie-folk project of Australian singer-songwriter, Pete Uhlenbruch), currently recording his third album in Iceland and the UK (due for release in 2014).

Recorded and mixed by Adam Casey at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/thetruevineproductions">The True Vine Studios</a> in Melbourne, 'Ghostflake' is a brief departure from his usual guitar-picking sound. Driven instead by warm antique pianos and a collection of vintage instruments, Uhlenbruch pairs up with Australian singer songwriter <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ainsliewills">Ainslie Wills</a> to deliver a low-key duet that explores the theme of overcoming mortal fears.

'Ghostflake' follows the release of the first b-side 'Happiness is a sad song' (released August 2013) and the first single from the forthcoming album 'the Hypnotist' (released March 2013).

All instruments were played by Mabel and Ivy including cello, violin, ukelele and glockenspiel. 

The song captures the wistfulness and melancholy of any kind of longing. 

The song didn't have a name for a long time and was just known as "the new song", until a small gig at Newport Bowls Club, where an elderly patron approached the girls after they had asked the audience to help them name the song.  He politely handed them a small folded piece of paper with the name "Sky Watching" written on it in perfect old-fashioned handwriting. 

Recorded at Head Gap Studio by Neil Thomason as well as by Nick Huggins and  Mabel Windred-Wornes.
Produced by Mabel Windred-Wornes and Nick Huggins in Point Lonsdale, VIC.
Mastered by Sam John at Precise Mastering, Scotland, UK.
