We were really excited when we were sent a new video from heavy alt rock teenage band Love Ghost to premiere on musicmuso. Inspired by the 90’s grunge subculture, Los Angeles based Love Ghost successfully pays tribute to the most influential genre of alternative rock, while creating a unique and modern sound.
Of the video, the band had this to say;
"Our music video for the Underground was inspired by Dante's Inferno, or the 7 circles of hell. We wanted to go deep into the psyche- the things that draw us to the Underground. The question- "if you follow your darkest impulses where do they lead you?" This was the first music video we began working on after we finished recording our album "Lobotomy". Mustafa Kandaz, who animated this video, had some life-altering things happen to him while working on this (including the death of his father- which led him back to his small village in Turkey for a time). Mustafa uses his own journey, incorporating his personal dreams and nightmares into this video. We hope you like it."
The single is produced by Eric Lilavois (Saint Motel, Surfer Blood). The award-winning animated video is stunningly haunting....
Having grown up together, the four-piece are able to poignantly express both the hardships and joys of suburban teenage culture within their music. Formed by 16-year-old frontman Finn Bell who demonstrates a maturity beyond his years with his soulful lyrics and arrangements. Despite the band all being teenagers, their raw musical skill creates a nostalgic triumph of distorted guitar melodies, heavy drums and emotionally stimulated lyrics. Love Ghost’s musical composition is inspired by a mix of old universal horror films meshed with iconic grunge artists such as Nirvana and Alice in Chains.
Love Ghost consists of Finn Bell (Vocals, keys, guitar), Mya Greene (Viola), Ryan Stevens (Bass) and Samson Young (Drums). The four-piece blend heavy rock, garage psych and moody pop for a unique fusion all their own. The music is influenced by the teenagers personal experiences of addiction, mental illness, heartache, love and coming of age.
Love Ghost was just named as one of Music Connection's Hot 100 Unsigned Bands for 2017. The band has played in Tar Fest, The Our Life Festival, Make Music Pasadena and Echo Park Rising. They have been the opening act for such high profile bands as Smash Mouth, The Young Dubliners, Buckcherry, Berlin, Ozomatli and The Tubes. Their performance of "Forgive Me" on Balcony TV is currently the number 1 voted video of all-time.
Their first full-length album Lobotomy was recorded at London Bridge Studio in Seattle with producer Eric Lilavois and is available NOW.
