Just in time for prom season, Gothenburg’s finest, Beverly Kills, have released a prom-themed winner of a song and video. The City of Gothenburg has no relation to Batman or Gotham City, but if you were a goth, a batcaver, don’t you wish you lived in a place called “Gothenburg?” What could be more goth than that? Maybe the next Beverly Kills video will have a Batman theme. At any rate, here’s how the BK Crew describes their new prom-themed vid:
As the song builds towards its final climax, John Jonsén’s punchy and articulate guitar performance carries the song through sections of tension and release as the band artfully blend raw and energetic sonic landscapes with dreamy lush vocals. Lyrically, Alma poetically reflecting on the type of people who compulsively start talking about their exes after they’ve had a drink or two, ending up ranting about them for the rest of the evening, almost as a process of self-purification. “A gray wall can become a sky or an ocean if you look close enough, we played an eye for an eye and you took them both”. ‘In This Dim Light’ clearly demonstrates Beverly Kills song writing prowess and further establishes their emergence in the ever-exciting Gothenburg indie scene.
Harping back to an 80’s yesteryear of American glamorous teen proms somewhat reminiscent of scene out of classic movies such as Back to the Future or 10 Things I Hate About You, Beverly Kills taps into a fun youthful energy that creates the perfect visual imaginary for their latest hard hitting single ‘In This Dim Light’!
