manwholikesbands To date, I don't think more than a handful of people have heard this album all the way through. When I listened to this album through YouTube, half of the tracks had no views. This, I think, is an immeasurable loss; Tell The Ghosts It's Suppertime is one of the loveliest albums I've heard in years. Favorite track: Upward Mobility.

about

Tell the Ghosts it’s Suppertime features an all-star cast of musicians from all over the Philadelphia music community and showcases Paper Masques’ unique folk-tinged psychedelia. The thirteen musicians who populate the album’s intricately arranged tracks bring layers of depth and atmosphere to Quaranta’s songs of loss and depravity; leaving the listener to blindly wander through a lush carnival of urban decay.
