The Fundamentals of Being Ghosted: Blitz Playhouse Release The Too Real ‘Favourite Ghost’

Blitz Playhouse, a London-based quartet, blurs the lines between indie, pop and psychedelic sounds reminiscent of The Beatles. 

Their latest single ‘Favourite Ghost’ is an expressive track that bursts to life with a vivid beat and a wash of emotive, rich and gentle guitars that blend together seamlessly to create a hazy atmosphere. The track features ethereal soundscapes and gentle vocals, creating a dreamy ambience that explores the sensation of bitterness toward being haunted by a past relationship that ended abruptly.

Bella Geiwald shows great vulnerability and unfiltered sass and attitude throughout her performance in response to being ghosted by an enigmatic lover, as vividly explored in the candid lyrics “Give me your instructions on how to disappear completely”. The vocal delivery goes from being soft to sharp, creating a haunted plea to a pissed off dig which is highlighted by the use of repetition in the lyrics “My favourite ghost right beside me. My favourite ghost right beside me”. 

Blitz Playhouse have crafted a deeply vulnerable and empowering track that delves into the highs and lows of being ghosted. With a blend of dynamic and melodic instrumentals, 'Favourite Ghost' is a catchy song that marks the band as a standout in the underground indie scene.
