The band’s already rich sonic palette is expanded by collaborating with the likes of ex-American Music Club pedal steel ace Bruce Kaphan, King Crimson’s drumming powerhouse Pat Mastelotto, Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree/King Crimson) and the London Session Orchestra (arranged by Canterbury music legend Dave Stewart).

Featuring the hypnotic ballad Wherever There Is Light, the atypically manic Pigeon Drummer and the epic 13-minute semi-orchestral Truenorth, 'Schoolyard Ghosts' represents the most consistent and crafted collection of songs in No-Man’s history and reveals the band taking its accessible, ambitious blend of post-rock and singer-songwriter influences to an even more focused and personalised place than before.

The standard CD/DVD-A consists of a 2 disc set containing the stereo mix of the album on CD plus a DVD-A featuring the 5.1 surround sound, high-resolution 24-bit stereo mix of the album, lyrics, credits and video clips for All Sweet Things, Truenorth and Wherever There Is Light.
