Ghost Tropic is the fifth regular studio album by
Songs: Ohia. It was recorded by
Mike Mogis at Dead Space Recording Studio in
Lincoln, Nebraska. The album's name refers to two short instrumentals that are surrounded by six vocal tracks of at least five and up to twelve minutes length. The reviews noted the somber and dark mood permeating the album. According to
Pitchfork, "Ghost Tropic (...) sounds as though it were recorded live in a haunted hut somewhere in an Ecuadorian rainforest. At night."
AllMusic was less sanguine: "Everything moves as slowly as a three-legged dog, and anyone neither patient enough nor attuned to Molina's style of songcraft (imagine
Neil Young doing very mellow gypsy folk music) might very well be put to sleep."
