 ‘I Don’t Believe In Ghosts’, the latest single to be taken from Krooked Tongue’s debut studio album ‘I Know A Place‘ which arrives on April 24th 2026 to limited edition vinyl.

Recorded and produced with long-time producer Josh Gallop (Sergeant Thunderhoof, Mother Vulture, Phoxjaw) at Stage 2 Studios in Bath, ‘I Don’t Believe In Ghosts‘ is unlike anything Krooked Tongue have written before, displaying a fragility not seen in any of their previous works. Delicate, emotive piano keys wrap around Oli Rainsford’s uncharacteristically gentle vocals, lyrically exploring the process of grieving a loved one.

We can honestly say that we were absolutely moved by “I Don’t Believe In Ghosts “ Krooked Tongue, has crafted an absolute masterpiece.

On the single, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford explains, “‘I Don’t Believe In Ghosts’ is a song that tries its best to pry open the syntax of death, to make sense of it, but knows there’s no way to categorise or organise our emotions when it comes to losing someone. The idea of ‘ghosts’ or ‘the paranormal’ is one we all know and by the most part reject. I don’t buy into any of that stuff, but ‘I Don’t Believe In Ghosts’ acts as a sort of proverbial notepad. A place to whisper your thoughts out into the open and feel as though they’re being heard, even if they’re not. I think we’ve lost our way a bit in this modern age, disconnected from humanity and death in an age where death is so commonly consumed through media. We’ve lost the art of taking a moment, catching our breath. ‘I Don’t Believe In Ghosts’ gifts us that moment to breathe. The lyrics continuously play with the phantom feelings that we all sometimes experience after someone dies. A perfectly timed breeze or a robin that lands nearby on a crisp Autumn morning. We see ourselves and others in moments throughout our life. Whether you believe in those sorts of things or not, the fact that we can even for a split second imagine and say ‘maybe it’s a sign’, is the purity of the human experience. 

Death is a weird thing to write about, it’s something so familiar to everyone and yet so alien because it relies on personal experiences. One of the most beautiful things about music is tat it often bridges that gap. We want to dedicate this song to everyone who has lost someone, and to everyone who has carried the torch as life hurtles onward.”
