What the label says:

“A Lily for the Spectre” is the luminous debut album from one of the most unique vocal talents to emerge in years... Stephanie Dosen.Stephanie Dosen was raised on a peacock farm in Wisconsin. She wrote many lullabies for her two favourite pets, a swan and a fox. Stephanie now writes mostly for ghosts with a rusty tape player named Jean-Pierre that follows her everywhere. He has made it through many states and two minor sets of injuries but still holds onto her twilight written songs with happiness. The influence of the nightly peacock mewing and swans swimming can still be heard in her music. Her new record is filled with driving cradle songs for ghosts gone astray. She has recently teamed horses with Simon Raymonde (Bella Union Records, Cocteau Twins) who blesses a lily for the spectre with bass and filigree sounds for lost peacocks.Musically, the songs on “A Lily for the Spectre” are astonishingly well-crafted, demonstrating both Stephanie’s excellent musicianship and compositional skills. The resulting music hovers between crystal clarity and haunting, dreamlike soundscapes.
