Background
For the first time, Modern Baseball didn’t handle recording themselves on Holy Ghost. They brought in Joe Reinhart from Hop Along and Algernon Cadwallader, working at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia. The album is divided between the two frontmen: Jake Ewald wrote the opening six tracks, Bren Lukens the final five. Ewald’s songs focus on his grandfather’s death, while Lukens’ address his struggles with depression and mental illness.
Release and promotion
The album was officially confirmed on February 24, 2016. On March 3, two songs were published for free via NPR: "Everyday" by Jake Ewald and "Apple Cider, I Don't Mind" by Bren Lukens. On April 4, the band released a documentary directed by Kyle Thrash titled "Tripping in the Dark", focusing on the band's formation and the album's making, including Ewald's struggle with his grandfather's death and Lukens' near suicide attempt and recovery. The video for "Wedding Singer" was released on May 5. The vinyl release has sides titled Side J and Side B, named after the songwriters, and includes an undocumented hidden track on side B not found on any other release. Modern Baseball announced tour plans on March 3, 2016, with the tour kicking off on May 25, 2016, with Joyce Manor and Thin Lips opening.
