Ghost Gnotes is the nom de plume of Denver musician Luke Mossman. Through the years of collaborating with others, he has always had songs that were uniquely his. Songs that felt too personal to share. But after longtime friend and producer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens, Local Natives) got wind of the demos, he convinced him to come to Eau Claire, Wisconsin and make something of these sonic whispers. This self-titled release is the culmination of that endeavor.

Joseph says, “Luke is as strange as he is gifted. Often lost in thought, there is a quiet charm in knowing him and in seeing him drag a song into light. This album is a slowly drifting boat, headed down the river in a still dark. It is a moment where your breath hangs long in the cold air before sinking to the top of the water, and just out of reach is the bloated moon all orange and golden. Luke exists fully inside this music, and it's discovery.”

Mossman has spent much of the past five years touring the globe as part of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, returning home between tours to write and record on his own.  Luke says of Ghost Gnotes, “This record is me, late summer nights in a hushed apartment. Wrestling everything I didn’t know how to process. The fear and the beauty of being alone. Processing failure. Questioning my place. Therapy. The only way I know how.”
