“Spirit Box” by Love Ghost is a Quiet, Unsettling Descent into the Core of Your Emotions

There’s something so eerily haunting when trying to reach out to the dead—it’s the muffled voices, or indistinct sounds that send chills to your spine. Spirit Box does the same. Only this time, Love Ghost isn’t talking about spirits, they speak to the shadows—confronting the depth of emotions.

Spirit Box starts off with a soft, haunting piano, and it isn’t the sound that feeds your fear, but the type that sinks into your chest once you lean in. It’s sad, melancholic, almost on its knees. The vocals have that quiet ache that chases the unresolved, charging all throughout the song while carrying grief in its rawest form.

Though slow and quiet, it’s a wonder how it sounds like it’s chasing something out of reach. Was it humming towards the afterlife, an emotion, or a fragment of oneself that was left behind? But one thing is for sure, they’re not just singing a sad, traumatic memory and feeling, they dissect it—a descent towards its very core to confront it.

Imagine Nothing But Thieves’ delivery that feels like an emotional spiral with Bring Me the Horizon’s ability to make you feel like you’re standing on an existential edge? Love Ghosts stands in the middle, seamlessly blending genres and sublime metaphors to bleed tension and vulnerability.

Spirit Box by Love Ghost is the type of song you’d sit in front of your window while the lights are off. It’s not just music. It’s a channel, a passageway leading to the void of the unresolved and the unspoken. And when it hits, it’ll leave you unsettled.
