Ghostnaps (Richard Lathrop) returns with ‘LOST FROM THE START,’ a new single that continues to expand the emotional and atmospheric world introduced on his sophomore album, TAKE ME WITH YOU!! (2025).
In early February 2026, Ghostnaps quietly opened the door to this new chapter with a small web experience at start.ghostnaps.com, inviting listeners to drift through a surreal space alongside a floating ghost companion while hearing an early preview of the new single. Rather than a traditional rollout, the experience asked fans to sit with the song’s mood first - to exist inside it before it fully arrived.
‘LOST FROM THE START’ lives in the space between movement and memory. Built on a dance-pop and indie-dance foundation with UK garage and melodic electronic influence, the track feels designed for late nights, long walks, and that specific moment when you realize something ended before you were ready to admit it. It’s reflective without being heavy - forward-moving without pretending things don’t hurt.
When the full song releases on Friday, March 6th, the world around it evolves too. The web experience becomes more interactive, letting listeners spend more time in this space with the ghost companion and the full track living inside it. This release marks part of a larger direction for Ghostnaps in 2026: building atmosphere, community, and worlds around music - not just posting links and moving on.
‘LOST FROM THE START’ is out Friday, March 6, 2026 on all streaming platforms.
For fans of Shallou, ODESZA, Jai Wolf, Attom, Angrybaby, UKG-influenced pop, and melodic dance music that lives between nostalgia and motion.
