Love Ghost x Skold sign to Metropolis Records and announce debut album
LA music acts Love Ghost and Skold sign to Metropolis Records for their debut album. A lead single, “Nightshade and Cocaine”, will be out August 28. The full album will be out November 22.
2023 already brought the debut single from Love Ghost’s collaboration with Tim Skold (SKOLD, Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White), “Payback”.
“Metropolis Records is proud to announce the debut collaborative album from Love Ghost and Tim Skold. Metropolis has had a long-standing relationship with Tim Skold, and it has always been a pleasure to work with this very talented person. When Tim brought this project to us, there was no doubt in our mind that we wanted to take it on. This is our first time working with Love Ghost. In welcoming him to the Metropolis family, he has been nothing but an absolute joy to work with,” says Nina Heckman of Metropolis Records.
Love Ghost front woman Finnegan Bell says this about the collaboration: “I met Tim Skold and his wife Erin on Halloween night at the Viper Room in Los Angeles. I was a massive fan of Skold, and I was surprised to see him there. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and was very excited when he said yes. To my surprise, Erin and him reached out about the possibility of us making music together. I was ecstatic about the opportunity. We have an electric synergy together, and Skold’s wisdom and creativity really pushed me to my fullest artistic potential. Creating the album with Skold, was a unique and magical experience.”
Tim Skold adds, “I still remember meeting Finn the first time because of his almost electric energy but it was my wife Erin’s idea that he and I should make music together. I have worked with many different artists by now but this one is still a unique and refreshing experience. We came together with a special chemistry and I really feel that it is well represented in the music. The first single ‘Nightshade and Cocaine’ shows off an almost schizophrenic diversity that is a thread for the entire album.”
