Watch the video for KNIFE BRIDE’s killer new single, smother (make me suffer)

Rising Brighton ‘nu-gothika’ gang KNIFE BRIDE have shared a killer new single and video.

Entitled smother (make me suffer), vocalist Mollie Buckley explains that the song represents “the flickery eye, heart racing, electric pulsing part of falling into sleep”.

“I wanted to incorporate the word ‘smother’ into a song ever since being obsessed with the song Smother Me by The Used from the age of 14 – the lyrical content is actually inspired as a response to this song,” Mollie continues.

“smother (make me suffer) attempts to poke fun at the male gaze. The chorus does this by saying ‘hope I stay fresh for you’, alluding to hoping my corpse is still beautiful, clean, and looking/smelling good – satirically commenting on being a subservient female and letting a man have his cake and eat it.”

smother (make me suffer) is taken from KNIFE BRIDE’s upcoming EP don’t dream too much, which is due out on August 25 and is described by the singer as, “A trilogy of my gruesome dreams. A one night cycle of disturbing visions.”
