The Glass Ghost is the third extended play from British singer-songwriter Phildel. It was released on March 4, 2013 through Decca Records.

Notes

“My imagination is the biggest inspiration for my work,” says Phildel. “In my imagination, I guess because of my past, there’s a lot of dark imagery and sinister feelings." [4] Various videos of the album have been released on YouTube, featuring magical make-up looks designed and created by Klaire De Lys.

"Holes In Your Coffin" was originally named 'Coffin Nails' back in 2008. [5]
