GHØSTKID Release “FSU”, Announce Album Hollywood Suicide Out In March
By fall 2021, with the world shutdown seemingly over, Sushi wasnt content to let his creative yen languish at home in Germany. Even though we had made it through Covid, I was missing being able to play live, to really function as a band, says Sushi. It didnt feel real to me. I became distanced from the music. A six-week decampment to Los Angeles became the creative fuel for Ghøstkids next steps. The last vestiges of Hollywood sleaze, decaying glamour, personal temptation and the still-vibrant creative vibes of the city became the frontmans dont-look-before-you-leap inspiration for the gestating Hollywood Suicide.
The album is a perfect snapshot of an artist finding himself, crawling from his own personal wreckage against a crumbling, mythical Californian milieu. Thats why Hollywood Suicide is the first track. If you really want to make it, you have to give a lot. You have to be willing to give up everything. Its kind of like suicide to the person that youve been when you become an artist.
The matching, lush and elaborate art adorning the album was created by Aly Wayne Gacy.

Today also marks the release of the video for Ghøstkids latest single, FSU.
FSU describes the raw and aggressive lifestyle of not giving a sh*t about anything and just do whatever you want, comments Biesler who directed and edited the video in cooperation with Nils Lesser (Vaultroom Production) and Benjamin Klose. The track was inspired by the Joker from Batman and the pure chaos and anarchy that the character is representing. Even if the lyrics circle around self-destructive behavior, the song is more about the feeling of freedom by dismissing the rules. Its a track about being a misfit and taking back your power, about being yourself, getting rid of labels and becoming independent - basically a big f*ck you
Live is where its the most real, the most in the moment, says Sushi. Theres no sense of boundaries, no sense of gender. I wear what I like as long as it looks cool. Ghøstkid, for me, is how I express my art through the music and my persona. When it comes down to art, you should be free.Ghøstkid will be bringing their melody and chaos to American stages for the first time in the spring of 2024 opening for Black Veil Brides following a European tour with labelmates Blind Channel.
