Rain Carnation Shares Smoky Offering ‘Beautiful Ghost’

Rain Carnation has shared his latest single ‘Beautiful Ghost’.

The track is a chilling journey through darkwave rock, detailing the remnants of a broken relationship through vivid lyricism. The San Diego-based artist pieces together an atmospheric listen that feels reminiscent of 80s synth pop, heightening its dark, smoky undertones and husky vocals.

The production hints towards Rain Carnation’s artistic inspirations, ranging between breakbeat mixes, nu-metal and post-punk. Born in Siberia, the songwriter and producer has been refining his craft across the past decade, developing his sound into something that can be placed alongside the likes of M83, Cocteau Twins and Drab Majesty.

‘Beautiful Ghost’ is the next addition to a string of singles, tracing Rain Carnation’s rise. It’s an exciting time for the artist, a year full of new ventures and experiences.

Speaking on the track’s personal resonance, Rain Carnation adds: “Our past often lives with us in the shapes of what I call ghosts: ideas about how people and things were. Not how they were in reality, but just an idea of that, as many things are getting forgotten and memories are being filtered by time. These are ghosts we live with.”

Tune in now.
