Release date: October 18, 2019

13 million year old ghost is the instrumental atmospheric project of Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Head Wound City, 41 Strings).

Each of the eight tracks functions together to depict a sonic portrait of this enigmatic 'ghost,' crafted by orchestral qualities of layered synths, guitars and electronic percussion.

"13 million year old ghost is an experimental non-song based side project, kind of a soundtrack to a lingering feeling. Thanks to Brian Chase for instigating and releasing this record." - NZ
