LA-based artist Beatrix has set out to “haunt her own past” with new single and video “Ghosts of Tennessee.” Arielle Kasnetz, who performs under the moniker Beatrix, trained in Classical music and graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville as a classical voice major. Now writing and releasing her own music, she “returns to Tennessee like an apparition, to haunt someone who knew the former her.” 

Using pedal steel as the voice of the ghost, the song combines Indie Rock, Folk and Chamber-Pop.

Beatrix describes:

Ten years pass… then suddenly, a message. Morse code drones underneath hushed hums and iridescent strings. Love has faded with time – but  something, or someone, remains in limbo. It’s autumn on the quad at Vanderbilt University. The leaves are  golden yellow, burnt orange, and brown— remnants of the seeds from which they were born— just like  the song that plays all these years later. You can’t look away, you can’t turn off the music, you’re too far  gone now… You let it wash over you and surrender.

In the video, directed by Rogue Bonaventura, Beatrix is cloaked in the dark forest and slowly walks her way deeper into the water.

On October 14, 2025 Beatrix will perform at School Night LA presented by KCRW alongside Lew Apollo, Quentin and Al Nicol. The free show at Zebulon begins at 7pm. More information and the RSVP link can be found here.
