US indie/alt-rock artist Love Ghost (Finnegan Bell) and Swedish industrial icon Tim Skold (known for KMFDM and Marilyn Manson) have released their third collaborative single, "Ski Mask," under the moniker Love Ghost x Skold. The track is out now on Metropolis Records and serves as a prelude to their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, set for release on November 22.
"Ski Mask" captures a journey through emotional turmoil, confronting themes like overmedication, personal struggles, and societal collapse.

Finnegan Bell's introspective lyrics are layered with Skold's signature industrial soundscapes, creating a gritty, immersive experience. (continue)

BONZIE just released her new album "When I Found The Trap Door" and marked the release by sharing a video for the single "Hollywood". To celebrate we asked Bonzie to tell us about the single. Here is the story:
Tinseltown. Got dogs eating dogs, cats eating cats, you've even got fish munchin' fish. That's a quote from the great Frankie Muniz/Paul Giamatti 2002 movie Big Fat Liar (or BFL, as it's come to be known). To judge or to be judged. The constant qualification. A couple years had passed of soaking up the sun and I was sitting in my Hollywood apartment. I had just played an acoustic set at a content creator's birthday bash at a luxury sneaker store in West Hollywood the night before. I banged on my keyboard piano for a couple hours. This song was the result. The frustration had just built to a point where it had nowhere else to go. I love LA, it's so multidimensional. The social climate amidst such a saturated industry can't be helped, the remnants of old Hollywood glitz and glamour sprinkle the land like pixie dust. The corruption hiding in the faults, waiting to erupt. Only a matter of time. What a mysterious, complicated, terrible and beautiful town. (continue)
