Gundersen turned to Neil Young’s “Tonight’s the Night” for inspiration:

“There’s this real ragged edge to that [Neil Young album], like everything’s going to fall apart... I wouldn’t say my record is anywhere near as extreme as that, but we wanted to capture a sense of uncertainty – and have this sonic, raw edge to it.”Ayers, Mike (August 17, 2015)."[https://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2015/08/17/noah-gundersen-carry-the-ghost-album/ Noah Gundersen Wrestles With Uncertainty on ‘Carry the Ghost’ ]", Wall Street Journal Blog.

According to Gunderson, everything was written on either an acoustic guitar or a piano, then taken into the studio to arrange and add instrumentation. Recording is a collaborative process and, in the past has involved a lot of Noah's family members. However, he indicated he is not including just family now but his touring bass player, Micah Simler, and touring guitar player Armon Jay (AJ) to the recording process as well.Manning, Craig (August 11, 2015)."[http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=133086722#post133086722 Interview - Noah Gundersen]", AbsolutePunk.com.
