MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW: Drown, BY Good Guy
[color=#111111;]
Alas, all hail the triumphant of Nightmare Pop! Good Guy's song "Drown" from his album, DAS LETZTE EVANGELIUM (The Last Gospel) takes the concept of Nightmare Pop (the naughtier and messier sister of Dream Pop) as the dark and melodic, and juxtaposed against an underlying irony that grabs and demands its audiences' attention. The San Francisco-based Good Guy accomplishes this feat (no small one) visually with the Drown music video. The music video, which some might say is more Lynchian than David Lynch himself, makes strong use of stereotypes when creating the antagonist—right in the middle of a visual kaleidoscope, by transcending conventional lines between bad and good to express multitudes—literally and metaphorically. Good Guy’s artistic expression is something often unseen or ignored amongst larger-scale productions and audiences in mass. It is then that “Drown” seeks to explain why darkness, arguably, in fact, can stand against the light so bravely; Good Guy accomplishes this by leaning into uncomfortable stereotypes, particularly the stereotype of black people as villains—often unredeemably so—and leaves the viewers of “Drown” questioning their own biases. One must suspect Good Guy does this for both the weight of the subject matter and the possibility that he might just change, or at least open, minds.[/color]
