After jumping from single to single throughout the year, rising grunge-rock act Love Ghost has released their career-defining new EP, ‘Scream’. A band known for defying traditional norms, constantly creating, and evolving their sound, their latest EP sees them collaborating when a string of impressive Mexican artists, propelling their tracks to new heights and showcasing the power of musical synergy.
A fiery five-song EP, 'Scream' builds with each track, showcasing a series of collaborations with different Mexican artists. The diverse lineup of Monde, El Verumcito, La Sinclair, Adhara, Helian Evans, and 3Angel, is a central part of the new EP, taking Love Ghost’s eclectic style and bringing it to a whole new level.
The title track, 'Scream', sets the tone for the EP with its raw, unfiltered energy. Crashing drums and a distorted guitar riff create an instant atmosphere of defiance, a sound that is undeniably gritty. Intense electronic beats then join Love Ghost's emo-rap vocals, filled with anxiety and destructive urges. Screamed lines pierce through this deceptive calm, like lightning strikes of aggression. A distant, heavy guitar serves as a reminder of the lurking darkness, waiting to erupt.
The chorus embodies this volatile energy, with layers of shouted lines and unleashed instruments. The lyrics are equally powerful, an unhinged outpouring of bottled-up emotions and dark thoughts. The anthemic chorus chant of "make you scream, make you fight, wanna die?" hints at an internal war against inner demons. Other lines suggest a broader struggle, with lyrics like "they've made us into their animals and act surprised," possibly alluding to societal issues or personal traumas.
'Scream' is a fired-up, volatile force of music that encourages a healthy release of pent-up emotions through cathartic screams and shouts. While 'Scream' may be the standout track, the rest of the EP showcases Love Ghost's versatility. ‘Throw Down’ leans towards pop-rock, ‘Rage’ embraces electronic metal, and ‘Daydream’ explores a more melancholic, anti-romantic sound. The closing track, ‘Rockstar Lifestyle’, is the most commercial and polished, offering a fitting conclusion to the EP.
'Scream' is a volatile and infectious force of emo energy that showcases Love Ghost's evolution as a band. With collaborations that transcend borders and a sound that defies genre boundaries, this EP marks an exciting new chapter for the band.
