Love Ghost x Skold
(Photo by Jim Louvau) US indie/alt-rock artist Love Ghost (Finnegan Bell) and Swedish industrial icon Tim Skold (known for KMFDM, Marilyn Manson) dropped their third collaborative single, “Ski Mask” as Love Ghost x Skold, via Metropolis Records.
The track captures a journey through emotional upheaval, dealing with personal struggles like overmedication and societal collapse. Bell explains it through the metaphor of a heist, where the listener is led through haunting, personal revelations.
The single arrives ahead of their eponymous debut album, set for release on November 22. Known for exploring darker themes, “Ski Mask” follows previous releases like “Nightshade and Cocaine” and “Payback”, each contributing to the album’s overall ominous, grunge-industrial soundscape.
Tim Skold brings his iconic industrial background from his work with KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, and Motionless in White. His dark soundscapes are mixed with Love Ghost’s indie-rock roots. Love Ghost, fronted by Finnegan Bell, is an LA-based act blending grunge, alt-rock, and post-punk influences with modern darkwave and emo elements. Their collaboration with Skold is the latest in a series of partnerships.
You can order the full album from Bandcamp.
