I love the looping thing.  Cool tune, stellar performance.

'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).

Owls of the Swamp - Ghostflake (ft. Ainslie Wills)

we are kites, we are free now. we cut all the ties that bind us. up to the sky, where we belong to, no fear of falling down, down. and finally we do let go. you are the sun, you are the one light, shining through my paper skin. i am the moon, i am your night guide. always half a world away. and finally we do let go. oh love, oh love, i wanna fly my kite. the weather's right in the autumn light. see how high it goes and i hold on tight. oh dad, oh dad, i wanna fly my kite. the wind is our song, we are dancing like lovers. two birds in the blue, not tangled up. with hearts full of hope, we're chasing each other, we are leaving the past behind. and finally we do let go.

'Water Song' was written by Australian troubadour Pete Uhlenbruch (aka Owls of the Swamp), and founder of the international Melodica Festival, specifically for the 2011 Viva con Agua Wassertage Campaign. The song was written and recorded 'on the road' in living rooms and kitchens during a three-week tour of Germany in September 2011 and features guest performances from fellow 'International Troubadour Conspiracy' troubdaours Torben Stock (GER), Kid Decker (UK) and Maik W. Garthe (GER). 'Water Song' is a gentle folk song reflecting on the many different qualities and personalities of the water element.
