Ghost Fan Club’s latest single, “Now and Then,” is a poignant exploration of emotional turmoil that is delivered through Tyler Costolo’s signature slowcore and bedroom pop style.
Capturing the essence of Ghost Fan Club’s personal and creative journey, the song’s melancholic melodies and self analysing lyrics dive into themes of depression, grief, and the struggle to find joy amid life’s challenges. Ghost Fan Club’s haunting vocals resonate with a raw honesty that invites one into his vulnerable world.
On the song,
“People say over and over life gets better, but I feel like it’s only progressively gotten worse. I struggle with this feeling during times I should be having fun. I’m happy, but only if I pretend.”
This sentiment is woven into the fabric of “Now and Then” and creates a relatable narrative for anyone who has grappled with similar feelings. With the addition of Tom Morris of Swim Camp on drums, there’s a new layer of depth and urgency to Ghost Fan Club’s sound. The synergy between the sombre guitar riffs and Tom’s rhythmic precision creates a sonic landscape that is both delicate and intense.
