a buoyancy that takes the listener on a fantastic ride from start to finish” _~ **
The Spill Magazine**

_“Lusitanian Ghosts impressively channel tools of the past to create a beautiful
sonic vision. Innovative in their use of traditional instruments to make modern 
pop-rock, this music is upbeat, quirky, feels familiar and is catchy as hell” _~**

that is full of dignity”_ ~ **Amplify Music Magazine**

Trans-Atlantic alternative neo-folk collective [**Lusitanian Ghosts**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.lusitanianghosts.com&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-3aa83a8386162322d400dded2ded527fc12e43c0)
presents their new single** **[**‘Got Enough’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fffm.to%2fzblv7ax&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-a389a8d21d50d2eedf96c0d17ac1b6f234c0590f).
This is the third single from the chordophone collective, which is more of a world-
music tinged mantra relative to their usual rock n roll alt-folk fare.

the new single heralds the release of their **‘Lusitanian Ghosts III’** album, out
in September via [**European Phonographic**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.facebook.com%2fEuropeanPhonographic%2f&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-971911057857d66ab44babbc26d053509d96dc1a).

Engineered and mixed by **Sebastian Muxfeldt (Elbow, Peter Doherty, Teenage Fanclub)**
at [**Clouds Hill Studios**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fcloudshill.com&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-a58b4a2fa02c775a36a36ad598149aa775e8481d)
in Hamburg, this album was recorded live off the floor on 2″ tape and mixed down
in glorious mono and stereo versions to 1/4″ tape. This chordophonic analogue extravaganza
showcases the more moody, atmospheric side of Lusitanian Ghosts – although not without
some vitriol.

Lusitanian Ghosts is a Portuguese-Canadian-Swedish project that resurrects lost 
instruments and present ancient sounds in the 21st Century. Re-casting these heritage
folk violas into rock n roll songs, the European artist collective writes from a
socio-political perspective on building a better world, creating songs for the heart
and mind, recording on analogue tape and releasing moving music on vinyl.

Founded by [**Neil Leyton**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fneilleyton.com&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-e9c91b644ed32fb4226d7889f86c3b41b017914a)****
and **Micke Ghost**, the collective also includes **João Sousa, Abel Beja** (from**
Primitive Reason**),** ToZé Bexiga **(from **Raia**)** and Jan-Eric Olsson**, playing
traditional Portuguese chordophone instruments, ancient regional guitars (Amarantina,
Beiroa, Campaniça, Braguesa, Toeira, Terceirense). These instruments, once on the
verge of extinction, are the real “Lusitanian Ghosts” – Lusitania being an ancient
Celtic tribe in what would become the central territory of Portugal.

“The riff was written on the bed at hotel Luna in Setubal around the time of our
Setúbal concert, which we filmed. It sounds like an oriental chant with echoes of
90’s Britpop. What I remember was that I asked Leyton to write a lyric about everything
we had enough of. Maybe not us in particular. What one could have had enough of.
Or should’ve had enough of. But I’m not sure what the song is about, really. It 
is a certain mood. Happy birthday,” says **Micke Ghost**.

**Neil Leyton** adds, “Punishment vs. reward. Or just too much reward. When Micke
came up with the riff I remembered that George Michael line, “Most of us are not
sure, if we have too much, but we’ll take our chances…” from Listen Without Prejudice
Vol. I, “Praying for Time”, and so it went… there are also some Elliott Smith and
Nikki Sudden references in there, but nothing too tragic. Some potential horsemen
of the apocalypse, but only three. There is a small chance of survival.”

As of July 21, ‘Got Enough’ will be available [**everywhere digitally**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fffm.to%2fx5mke41&umid=a42e27d1-0bc3-439f-a3d4-8b304e9e380e&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-84f3fb8555e29884d8538aaf311595aa63a2a136),
