Gary Lightbody has revealed that his Tired Pony collective are nine days – and 12 songs – into recording their second album, which will be titled The Ghost Of The Mountain.

The recording sessions are taking place in Los Angeles, personnel apart from Gary currently unknown but almost certain to include Peter Buck, Iain Archer and Jacknife Lee.

It’s the follow up to 2010’s The Place We Ran From, which was a bit of an alt. country gem.
