Love Ghost and SKOLD : Love Ghost x SKOLD - CD
Ref: 24644
US indie/alt-rock maverick Love Ghost (Finnegan Bell) and Swedish industrial music legend Tim Skold (SKOLD, Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White) have released 3 collaborative singles over past months, all contained in this their eponymous full length debut album. Mixing fire with brimstone, these two innovative artists have joined forces to forge the raw energy of grunge with the driving rhythms of industrial rock, embellished with gothic hues. On their latest single ‘Ski Mask' however, despite the pop sensibility, there is a darker background to the song. “It takes the listener on an emotional journey and has a crestfallen vibe akin to what a broken society feels like,” explains Bell. "Influenced by how an over-medicated youth can find it hard to manage the ups and downs of life as an adult, the lyrics deal with my personal relationship with pharmaceuticals, altered brain chemistry and how it leads you to some very dark places. It is told through the perspective of a heist, hence the title 'Ski Mask'.” "This song definitely explores a darker side of our creativity, touching on ups and downs not usually explored in such a catchy almost pop format," adds Skold. ‘Ski Mask' followed the recent ‘Nightshade and Cocaine' and the duo's 2023 debut single ‘Payback', both of which set the tone for the dark rock n' roll soundscape of their album.
