Love Ghost’s 'Spirit Box' finds melody in the mourning

Love Ghost has always had a taste for the spectral, but 'Spirit Box' trades in jump-scare intensity for something far more intimate. This is a track that slips in quietly, carrying a message equal parts melody and mourning.

Framed around the idea of a device that bridges the living and the dead, the song feels like tuning into a frequency you’re not supposed to hear. Singer Finnegan Bell’s delivery is restrained but magnetic, letting the weight of the words land without crowding them. The arrangement hums with an airy alt-pop pulse, steering clear of the band’s heavier edge while keeping a flicker of their trademark unease alive beneath the surface.

And that’s the draw here, the duality. Bright, polished production that could pass for an upbeat radio single, masking verses that unpack the slow burn of grief and the ghosts we carry in our own heads. It’s the kind of contrast that makes you lean closer, chasing the shimmer only to find the shadow behind it.

With 'Spirit Box', Love Ghost shows just how elastic their sound can be without losing its emotional backbone. They’ve built a bridge between accessibility and catharsis, and in doing so, they’ve given the spirits a voice that lingers long after the track ends.
