lost:ghosts:records is a Baltimore based label that was started to provide a small outlet for little known artists who truly value the idea of community in music. We feel it is important to provide a product with immediate history and direct connection between the recipient and the creators. Each release is packaged with artwork hand-printed by the label folks to meet the highest standard possible while maintaining the touch of those who made it. This is art for people by people.
