 ABOUT:
 Ghost Painted Sky is the solo studio project of David Strong (vocals, guitar, drums, bass VI, bass guitar, keyboard, occasional programming). 
 The music and lyrics tend toward the dark and intensely personal, strongly influenced by the classic goth, darkwave, and post-punk sounds of the 80s and 90s (along the lines of The Cure, Joy Division, Clan of Xymox, The Sisters of Mercy, Swans, Requiem in White, early Lycia and Human Drama).

 After involvement with several bands (including Twelfth of Never), and earlier solo projects (including an ultimately abandoned precursor to Ghost Painted Sky), David took a hiatus from music altogether for several years, before re-emerging after a period of great personal difficulty and transformation in 2014, with the self-titled Ghost Painted Sky EP. The primary themes and feel of the project reflect the dark nature and soul-searching of those and similar experiences.

 The summer of 2015 saw the release of a second, somewhat more rock-oriented EP, The Shadows Breath, and a live band lineup make its debut. 

 Meanwhile, work on the full-length album continues, with a projected release date sometime in early 2016. The intervening months will see a couple additional EPs and singles released…
