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 shared their third collaborative single titled ‘Ski Mask’. The song is included on their debut album, which is set for release on 22nd November via Metropolis Records.
“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.
This is a driving rock anthem tinged with Skolds’ dark arts and an excellent vocal performance from them both. The track has a pop sensibility, but the darker uncurrent brought by the gothic synths and grunge rhythms match the lyrics, giving us another killer track from these guys.
