This new “mixtape model” revs up the track’s power degree in a manner that, to me, illuminates the distinction between “dreampop” (the unique) and “shoegaze” (this one). Here is
“It was actually enjoyable attending to reimagine this track within the studio and discover new edges of Romantix,” Winter says. “I initially wrote it in a quicker tempo so it was cool bringing this
model to life, leaning into the extra sulky crimson palette of the album.” She additionally commented on the video, directed by Sophie Hur:
I used to be studying this outdated Russian fairytale on the time of writing the lyrics, which we took as inspiration when making the music video. I believe a method or one other, with Winter, I am at all times exploring that liminal house between dream and waking life. And it was actually particular attending to work with director Sophie Hur once more and dream up this epilogue for the album.
