Canadian duo GHOSTWOMAN have dropped a new single, “Levon”, alongside news of their upcoming fourth studio album "Welcome to the Civilized World", due September 5, 2025, via Full Time Hobby and a full European tour this autumn.
“Levon” originally began as an abandoned demo, then resurrected by the band, adding fresh lyrics, guitar riffs and a searing solo. It’s named after band member Evan Uschenko's dog, themselves nicknamed for Levon Helm of The Band. The final version is a tight, punchy fusion of garage grit, smoky psychedelia and blues‑rock swagger, with Uschenko’s filtered vocals winding through electrifying guitar lines to create a menacing yet peppy vibe. The track is paired with a Ryan Faist‑directed video filmed in an eerie, abandoned trailer. Faist captured the song’s relentless rhythmic pulse with minimalist visuals: a simple pencil tapping becomes a hypnotic counterpart to the music, while two friends’ muted presence adds a documentary‑like stillness.
The album was written and recorded over two years, split between Canada and Belgium, in spaces ranging from Alberta homes to a secluded Ardennes cottage. GHOSTWOMAN’s intuitive, tape‑based production uses worn, second‑hand gear until it’s “used up”. Thematically, it’s a chaotic response to modern absurdity, existential pain, and personal loss, the duo calling it “an allergic reaction to the times we are living in”.
We represent this song in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
