ALEX is back on NewRetroWave. GHOSTER, out since 30 October 2026, is the first single from what the label calls ALEX’s upcoming vision with NRW, and it arrives with a refined darksynth sound and an intricate sonic palette.
NewRetroWave framed the release as a return after many years, inviting listeners to turn up their speakers and delve into the paranormal. The cover by AfterDark fits the brief: the title scratched in white over a blue wall of glitching video static.
The lyric is a short, haunted loop about someone who vanishes without a word: “You disappear like the sun / I had a thought that you could be the one to…” It keeps circling back to the same bitter question, “Did you find the game so fun?”, before the hook turns to longing with “I wanna see it through, I wanna be with you.”
ALEX wrote, composed, arranged and produced the track. Matt Kennedy mixed it, and Colin Leonard mastered it at SING Mastering. The single comes out on NRW Records under exclusive licence to NewRetroWave.
It also lands only weeks after the album EXIT REALITY, which Apple Music lists as released on 2 October 2026, in a catalogue there that stretches back to the 2016 EP BLOOD CLUB.
