“ The L.A. rockers sound as bratty as any of multi-platinum miscreants who’ve had hits on KROQ, but they fall in more with the play-actin’ bad boys. What the song reflects, though, is having come of age in an era when popular culture glorifies materialism and hedonism, which makes it the saddest kind of parody: funny but true.” - Buzzbands
“Drawing on the grungy, hip-hop-meets-rock, sardonically sunny ‘90s, these guys come across as nostalgic – for those of us that remember the decade – but with enough modern shaping to remain original and fresh.” -V13
LISTEN TO “OUTER SPACE” : HERE
“….tinged in a backdrop of grunge, the song sounds perfectly tuned with just the right melodic atmosphere." - Grimy Goods
Introspective Los Angeles based band Love Ghost has released their grunge-inspired single "Outer Space." “When I was younger I would lay on our roof at night and look at the stars, thinking about escaping my problems,” lead singer and guitarist Finn Bell told Grimy Goods. “The vastness of space can humble and inspire you at the same time.” The song, like much of Bell’s songwriting, reflects and feeling like an outsider. This song is the follow up to their last single, "I'll Be Fine" released for Mental Health Awareness month in May. The poignant track that mixed elements of trap and rock, had a powerful reaction from fans for its honesty and rawness garnering over 500K streams on Soundcloud with 500+ comments, over 1 Million views on Youtube with 1,000 comments and over 387K streams on Spotify.
“Love Ghost invite their listener into a dark and gritty underworld of trap, emo rap, and rock influences on ‘I’ll Be “Fine”’, an emotionally dense track that chimes and writhes with despondency, suspense and toxic emotions.” - When the Horn Blows
“ Intermingling rock, hip hop, and trap influences into their music, Love Ghost has captured the angst that most teens are experiencing these days.” - Ghettoblaster Magazine
This song is one of many produced for Love Ghost by Danny Saber (The Rolling Stones, Alice Cooper, the Charlatans, Public Enemy etc.), for what will be two full EP's to be released this fall. "I'll Be Fine" was the somber follow up to the lighthearted "Chasin Money and Bitches " single that was a comedic and hedonistic look on what it is that our culture values most, from the viewpoint of a teenager living in Los Angeles in 2020. Prior to that, the band released the grunge era-inspired "Let It All Burn," with the accompanying scorcher of a video, directed by Dean Karr (Queens of the Stone Age, Mark Lanegan). The song was featured on Spotify’s coveted "New Noise" playlist in addition to Apple’s "Breaking Hard Rock" and "Fresh Blood" playlists, having garnered over 1 Million streams since its release.
