L.A.-based duo Magdalena Bay have shared the video for their single ‘Ghost’. The lo-fi visuals, which feature the clips of Mica Tenenbaum singing in a bath tub, have an 80s VHS aesthetic to it. The song follows the band’s previous cut ‘The Girls’ which was unveiled about a month ago.
Touching on ‘Ghost’, Magdalena Bay stated:
“We wanted to try something new when we started writing ‘Ghost’. We had just finished a string of really bubblegum pop songs. Then, this spooky beat came out of nowhere. The song is darker than our previous releases– but it’s still fun and totally dancy. To us, ‘Ghost’ is what would happen if Britney Spears and MGMT collaborated on a track. The lyrics are inspired by the iconic 80’s film Mr. Vampire, which Mica had just watched in a Chinese film class. The story of a ghost seductress taking over a man’s life really resonated with us.”
