Lightning Ghost is the second Bird Show album, following the debut release Green Inferno.

It centres around Ben Vida's home-fi sound experiments. Tracks are carved out of opiated chanting, disjunctive drum circles, synth meditation and prepared piano trance song. Vida's sonic explorations are embedded into tighter song structures, with a greater role given to vocals in the mix. The ceremonial air has been retained and expanded with a strong percussive presence and repeated, mesmerizing musical figures. Vida recorded the album at home, but much of the material resulted from the hours spent on stage this past year. It's really a remarkable album of beautiful textured and hues that organically flows.
