London-based duo amilost, comprised of vocalist Eva and musician Alex, dropped a perfectly timed release for the season’s chills with their new single, “Haunted.” Living up to its name, this track wraps listeners in a spectral embrace, blending eerie synths with Eva's ethereal voice to create a soundscape that flirts with the shadows. It’s a haunting anthem that’s just as suited for Halloween playlists as it is for introspective late-night listening.
“Haunted” dives deep into the darker shades of love, exploring the thin line between obsession and passion. The duo’s self-described “Scandinavian pop with cinematic grandeur” is on full display here, as the track's meticulous production builds an almost hypnotic tension. Synths pulse like distant heartbeats, while Eva’s vocals weave a story of a love so intense it becomes otherworldly. Each note resonates like a whispered incantation, casting a spell that’s hard to shake off.
The song’s haunting vibe is a clever blend of nostalgia and mystery, evoking classic Halloween anthems without falling into clichés. Instead, it draws from the cinematic depth of tracks like “I Put a Spell on You,” capturing that same sense of longing and enchantment. It’s clear that amilost is honing their craft, pushing their sound into darker, more mature territories that reflect their rising status on the UK alternative scene. Already making waves with sold-out shows and a growing fanbase, amilost proves with “Haunted” that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the world of alternative pop.
