VENUS GRRRLS release new music video for ‘Carmilla’

VENUS GRRRLS have released a new music video!

The Leeds alternative rock outfit have unveiled Carmilla, the latest single to be lifted from their upcoming EP, To Die as Lovers May, which is scheduled for release on October 16th via Killabop.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist GK says, “the inspiration for the song was instantaneous after finishing my first read of Sheridan Le Fanu’s novel, Carmilla. The EP’s title, To Die as Lovers May, is taken from an extract in the novel, which actually predated Dracula. Lyrically, I certainly wanted to capture the contrast of allure and passion with the lethality and confrontation of romance with a vampire. It’s dark and forbidden, but it’s enticing and everlasting. I think this tender balance that exists in between the cracks of love and death is what the entire EP is exploring.

I recorded the vocals at 3am after three glasses of red wine in the Spanish mountains; some even recorded in an abandoned chapel. We all walked in the pitch black to find this chapel with our producer, Brad, in the middle of the night. It felt like some sort of gloomy pilgrimage! It aided us in capturing the atmosphere that’s so masterfully present throughout the novel. An eeriness that’s a bit sexy. It was particularly cathartic to record a song about lesbian vampires in an old chapel.”
