Tom Gallo debuts his first full-length album, Tell Me The Ghost, released via Tone Tree Music.
Mixed by multi-Grammy winner Tchad Blake and produced by Gallo himself, the 12-track record features his delicate instrumentation and often deemed “haunting” vocals; creating the entire album in just one weekend, the album showcases Gallo’s wide range of talent in its purest forms.
Gallo began recording Tell Me The Ghost in 2016 — alone at home, with an old nylon-string Spanish guitar and a cheap microphone. Out of these stripped-down constraints bloomed a record of oddly sparse yet memorable melodies, framed by delicate guitar patterns, whisper-like singing, and minimalist percussion. After single-handedly performing, recording, and producing the album by himself, Gallo sent a note to Grammy award-winning engineer Tchad Blake in hopes that he would mix it. Blake, known for his work with artists like Paul McCartney, The Black Keys, Sheryl Crow, Tom Waits, Peter Gabriel, and U2 (among many others) took to the album immediately, mixing “Slow Moon” that day and eventually taking on the full album as a passion project.
