Holy Ghost

"Holy Ghost" is the third studio album by the American rock band Modern Baseball, released on May 13, 2016 on Run for Cover Records. Holy Ghost is the first Modern Baseball album that was not recorded by the band themselves—instead, the members obtained the help of Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Joyce Manor). The album was recorded at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia. The album is split in half between both guitarist/frontmen, Jake Ewald and Brendan Lukens (Ewald wrote the first six songs and Lukens wrote the last five). Ewald's songs mainly revolved around the passing of his grandfather while Lukens focuses on his struggles with mental illness and depression. The album was met with generally favorable reviews, most of them noting that Modern Baseball showed growth and maturity with the content of Holy Ghost. On June 4, 2016, Holy Ghost reached No. 53 on the US Billboard 200.
