"Other Places" Press Release:

Hailing from the outer mountain and coastal regions of Melbourne, Australia, Ghost Towns of the Midwest release their album "Other Places" digitally on November 20, followed by a vinyl release over Summer 2020.

Most of the recording process took place in 2019, with the release delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With 2 members of the band living overseas and unable to return home, and live music put on hold, the band had to weigh up releasing the album during this time.
They eventually deciding to put it out into the world as somehow the songs seemed to fit the strange times the world was feeling.

Tales of riding your bike through your old suburb, missing the city lights, losing family, and accepting/embracing the feeling of "Rusting", "Other Places" shows the band taking their own brand of "Melbournicana" well off the more beaten Alt-Country pathways.

"Other Places" is a record that takes you from the City Lights, weaves through the suburbs, stops a while in heartbreak, and leaves you with "Rust" a track that came together on the spur of the moment in the studio. Caught in two takes, it settles the ears after the grander sonic moments of the album, and serves as a quiet kiss goodnight.


Released digitally November 20 wherever you find music.
