Seattle’s rising synth-fueled post-punk trio, Ghost Fetish, return with their latest single, “Show & Tell,” released on April 17, 2025. A delicate yet intense exploration of vulnerability, the track captures the nervous euphoria of revealing one’s true self, teetering between the anticipation of love and the fear of abandonment.
Recorded at Way Out Studios under the seasoned production of Trevor Spencer, “Show & Tell” marks the first glimpse into the band’s second LP, which is slated for recording and production this summer. The single showcases Ghost Fetish’s signature blend of analog circuits and madness, offering a soundscape that is both haunting and dance-inducing.
Ghost Fetish has rapidly become a standout in the modern goth, new wave, and synth-pop scene, drawing comparisons to icons like The Cure, New Order, and Bauhaus. Their live shows are a kinetic display of energy, weaving infectious rhythms with melancholic depth. Since their 2023 debut album Almost Touching, the band has performed alongside notable acts like Bikini Kill, She Past Away, and PVA, further solidifying their reputation for delivering hypnotic, emotionally charged performances.
Following the acclaim of previous singles like “Lipstick,” praised by post-punk.com and turnupthevolume.blog for its Kraftwerkian nuance and New Order spark, “Show & Tell” promises to deepen Ghost Fetish’s connection with their audience, blending lyrical intimacy with soaring synth lines and rhythmic urgency.
Ghost Fetish’s upcoming performances include notable appearances at Seattle’s Central Saloon on May 2, the Verboden Fest in Vancouver, and the Midnight Fest at Baba Yaga on May 31. As the band continues to build momentum, “Show & Tell” offers a compelling testament to Ghost Fetish’s ability to channel vulnerability, longing, and electrifying soundscapes into something truly unforgettable.
“Show & Tell” is now available on Spotify, Bandcamp, and Apple Music. Stay tuned for more music and performances from one of Seattle’s most intriguing new acts.
