As the days lengthen and warm with spring’s arrival, nothing lifts the soul like an immersive musical journey. Enter Love Ghost and their transcendent new EP “The Speed of Dreaming” – a sonic passport that whisks listeners to dreamscapes through four tracks imbued with cinematic magic.
From the buzzing guitars of opener “Be Not Afraid” that roar to life like a rocket ship blasting off, this release pulls you into its slumbering world from the very first note. Frontman Finnegan Bell’s raw vocals pour heart and vulnerability into lyrics exploring obsession’s intoxicating troubles. Produced with care by Alex Pedrero, the track establishes a theme of love in all its complexity while firing on all cylinders to perfectly set the stage.
Next comes the standout “ESPEJO” – a shimmering synth-laced wonderland where Spanish guitar lines intertwine with melodies that feel both relaxed and energized. The bilingual approach speaks to Love Ghost’s intercultural collaborations in Mexico that broaden musical and cultural horizons. El Santi’s verse lifts the song to new altitudes, taking you on an exhilarating creative voyage.
Transport continues with the modern emo-rock-pop gem “LUNA AZUL” featuring the ethereal Helian and MONDE. Swirling guitars and Finnegan Bell’s raspy delivery take you to places you’ve never been. Co-producers BrunOG and MONDE imbue the track with those hardcore, cinematic qualities perfect for late-night karaoke, screaming your heart out. The EP drifts gently back to earth with the stripped-back ballad “Wallflower.” Accompanying visual artist Michal Toczek’s AI-generated video captures the song’s wistful atmosphere to perfection.
