Hour, the instrumental ensemble led by Philadelphia musician and Dear Life Records co-founder Michael Cormier-O’Leary, has announced its new album, Ghost Bridge. The title track is available now alongside a short film, offering a slow-building, piano-led introduction to the group’s emotive blend of acoustic orchestration, ambient textures and experimental noise.

Ghost Bridge follows Hour’s 2024 album Ease The Work and was recorded in a basement studio with contributors from Philadelphia’s indie scene, including Peter Gill, Abi Reimold, Jason Calhoun and Lucas Knapp. The six-track album will be released on 9 October through Dear Life Records; its title song runs for nearly 10 minutes.
