Love like ghosts
Drink like vamps
Monsters in a lo fi trance
It is a strange and luminous marriage, this union of self-destruction and science-fiction surrealism. One reaches inward, clawing at the body and spirit with a hunger for erasure; the other projects outward, building cities of chrome and vapor where reality dissolves into dream. Yet they share a single pulse: the yearning to escape the ordinary, to break beyond the prison of the flesh and the tyranny of time. In destruction there is invention, in ruin a vision of another order. The future gleams brightest when it flickers on the edge of obliteration, where sorrow mutates into strange, impossible beauty.
BLXCKFLAMINGO announces the release of Monsters, a hymn to the uncanny; a song that bends desire and dread into one indistinguishable figure, both luminous and diseased. Monsters stalks the listener, its atmosphere charged with dread and desire. The song conjures a nocturnal communion, pulling together strands of occult lore, coldwave minimalism, and post-punk anguish. BLXCKFLAMINGO are less interested in playing to form than in carving open a new space where the grotesque and the romantic share the same breath.
Kevin Garetz’s voice carries through the track like a sermon delivered at the edge of a grave, drenched in synth and guitar tones that seem carved from cold stone. The basslines, Roberto Miranda’s work, move with relentless intent: an engine churning forward, never relenting, never loosening their grip. Over it all, synths shimmer like frost on ruined windows, giving the sense of a city seen from a distance, as if through fog or fever.
The lyrics read as a diary of delirium. Love is conjured as a spectral presence, drink as ritual, bodies transformed into vampiric husks moving through a “lo-fi trance.” The city itself becomes a character: a theatre of ruin, filled with dangerous pleasures, where destruction feels inseparable from invention. Within this landscape, witchcraft and romance collapse into the same act of survival, the occult serving as language for what ordinary speech cannot bear. Self-destruction becomes a mode of transcendence, tinged with science-fiction unreality.
The accompanying video, directed by BLXCKFLAMINGO with Humanoire Studio, deepens this sense of delirium. Spliced with imagery from old films including Village of the Damned and Pandora’s Box, the lo-fi cut unfurls like an experimental séance. Clips of skulls, bats, and half-remembered horror romances bleed into glitchy performance shots of the band, the montage building an atmosphere that feels both archival and slightly campy, like celluloid fed through a fever dream projector.
