Los Angeles-based indie rock band Love Ghost are known for their distinctive blend of grunge, alternative rock and post-punk founded by singer/guitarist Finnegan Bell. Teaming up with Swedish musician and producer SKOLD they have shared new track ‘Nightshade And Cocaine’ taken from a self-titled album to be released in late 2024.
“We are very excited to share this first single from our forthcoming album,” states SKOLD. “It’s not easy picking singles but this one is a favourite of mine because of the dynamics. It’s like a musical roller coaster, the highs and lows take you for a ride. This is also something that is reflected in the lyrics, which almost lightheartedly deal with some very heavy subjects.”
“This is a sonic journey that touches on many topics such as personal introspection, losing and finding your soul, witchcraft, death, the afterlife, and even politics and war,” adds Bell. “Deadly Nightshade [also known as Belladonna] is a flower that is intrinsically linked to witchcraft, particularly for flying, astral projection and as a symbol for death. This song is about altered states of mind and one’s psychology unravelling at the seams. It is dynamic, unconventional and imaginative and is one of my favourites on the album.”
Bass throbbing, darkly gothic pop thats one spin away from being your new favourite track. The crushing chorus featuring both the duo’s vocals is hair-standing and electrifying. At the same time, the verses hang a heavy tension in the air over riffing piano and murmurs of heavy industrial rock. This is what happens when talents collide.
