Album DescriptionAvailable in:
"Ghost Stories" is the last studio album by the Los Angeles-based alternative rock band The Dream Syndicate. It was released in 1988 on the Enigma Records label, just a year before the band broke up.
The album's songs are "dominated by themes of reminiscence and mortality." Reactions to the album were mixed. Gene Gregorits, writing from the perspective of Wynn's later solo career, called the album "pneumatically morose" and "depressing". Denise Sullivan, writing for Allmusic, gave the album three stars out of five and called it a "very straight-ahead rock album". In 2004, however, when an expanded edition of the album was released on CD, Seattle's No Depression offered a glowing review of the "dense, desperate clang".
The album was re-released in 2004, with eight additional tracks recorded live for radio.
