Rising darkwave/EBM/synth-pop duo ghostbells have released their debut EP, Catacouture, on Out of Line Music. The release arrives alongside the band's newly launched UK tour (see the dates below) and the striking music video for the closing track "The Color", which expands the EP's shadow-soaked world, blending stark intimacy with surreal, fashion-forward imagery—continuing ghostbells' reputation for pairing each release with carefully crafted visuals.
A glowingly dark collision of icy new-wave melodies, 90s EBM pulse, and modern, club-ready production, Catacouture weaves pulsing basslines, reverb-drenched guitars, witch-lit vocals, and hypnotic synth textures into an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and sharply contemporary. It's music for late nights, neon-lit dancefloors, and moments where the darkness feels strangely comforting.
The EP opens with the band's debut single, "Darkness Saves", a seductive descent into shadow where surrender becomes salvation. Built on 80s-inspired melodies, 90s EBM energy, and sleek modern production, the track sets the tone for ghostbells' emotionally charged sonic universe. Across six tracks, Catacouture unfolds as a world of melancholic romance, wrath, longing, and eternal lovers—cinematic, physical, and immersive from start to finish.
