Love caught between the realms of life and death is a dangerous game, where the heart and soul meet at the crossroads of existence. It’s a dance that flirts with the unknown, where the spirit whispers secrets to the flesh, drawing it closer to that shadowy border. Here, the earthly and the ethereal merge, blurring the line between what’s real and what’s imagined. The embrace between the two is fateful, a twisted waltz where each pull of the heartstrings inches one closer to an inevitable plunge into the abyss. This love is both life’s greatest gift and its cruelest curse, a bittersweet kiss that might just as easily steal your last breath.
Amidst Seattle’s fog-choked streets and the towering sentinels of ancient firs, Ghost Fetish carves a path through the gloom with synths that crackle like a live wire. The band stitches together the shimmer of new wave, the relentless pulse of synth-pop, and the tenebrous pull of old-school goth. Each beat, every melody, is a step deeper into a world where the past and present intertwine, where the echoes of the 80s dance with modern-day angst.
Taste of Heaven spins a tale of a love teetering on the edge, caught between the realms of life and death. It’s a dance of the spirit whispering to the flesh, where the earthly and the ethereal meet in a fateful embrace. The music is Ghost Fetish stripped down, raw, and direct, laying bare the primal pulse of their sound. The abstract influences the concrete, and in turn, the tangible world molds the intangible. It’s a dark, seductive play of contrasts, as the band delves into the very core of desire and mortality.
“This is the first track we’ve produced all by ourselves and we wanted it to be an experiment, but also a simple and loving effort of Gothic Synth Pop,” says the band.
Ghost Fetish is crafting a gothic-laced realm steeped in visceral emotion. Its sound taps into a vein of nostalgia while keeping one foot firmly in the now. Their music serves as a guiding force through a dimly lit corridor, accentuated by the sporadic glow of neon lights, enticing with an inescapably haunting allure.
