WL//WH Track Of The Day: MERCY GIRL “Ghost”

Track Of The Day   MERCY GIRL

Formed in 2023 by members Daisy Miles, Davey Purdie, Craig Harkness and Kylie MacNaughton-Wright, the Glasgow-based electronic outfit Mercy Girl weave nocturnal and voluptuous electro-wave with an intoxicating dancefloor flair.

The Scottish quartet’s third single “Ghost” deals with a troubled person who  battles a ghost inside themself for control of their mind and body.

Hauntingly moody and sensuously atmospheric, yet simultaneously uplifting, cloaked in a hazed dark veil of introspective desolation, the track unleashes relentless quick throbbing, droning bass loops, slashed through by an urgent pounding drum programming, injecting gloomy shadows into a sadly sinister environment, lit by glowing synths, to orchestrate a swirling aching drama atop pain-filled sultry vocals, changing to rapid edgy spoken words, amid ebbs and flows of echoey dissociation.
