Having gained a substantial hype and following with their debut single "Darkness Saves", the Los Angeles (USA) based emerging darkwave/EBM duo ghostbells released two new singles, "Wrath" and "Ghosts", and a music video. It's released under the title, Three Levels Of Dark And Dance, which is out now via Out Of Line Music.
Jessica Perry and Jim Finley have been in the music scene for a while and have now decided to embark on a new venture with their shared music project, ghostbells. With their glowingly dark new-wave–meets–EBM electronic soundscapes, this band will soon be known worldwide for their brooding soundscapes, haunting melodies, and driving dance beats. Inspired by the depths of the underground electronic scene, their music fuses icy synths, pulsing basslines, reverb-soaked guitars, and melancholic lyricism into a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. ghostbells’ music invites listeners into a shadowy world where nostalgia and modernity collide, offering an emotional journey through darkness and light, converging in perfect dissonance.
"Wrath is about being pulled under by the past - fear, family damage, and self-doubt - and refusing to let it bury you", says the band about the focus track "Wrath".
Jessica adds: "We all carry grief, despair, dissociation, anxiety - and most of the time we bottle it up. When I hear the track/s and react to them it all pours out at once. Both songs give those feelings a place to move and breathe.”
ghostbells made their live debut this year at Castle Party Festival in Bolków, Poland, one of Europe’s most celebrated gothic and alternative festivals, instantly winning over a growing audience. In February 2026, the duo will join label mates Ashbury Heights on tour across the UK, and will make their Berlin debut at the Out Of Line Weekender Festival in May 2026.
The duo - Jessica Perry (vocals, guitar, bass, synth) and Jim Finley (producer, vocals, bass, guitar, synth) - creates music that’s equal parts ethereal and danceable, nostalgic and futuristic. Their signing to Out Of Line Music marks the beginning of a new chapter for the label and the genre alike. The previously released single/video "Darkness Saves" can be found over HERE. Link
