Matemade presents: Girl by Sad Songs for Happy People
Hailing from Amsterdam, the ‘Sad Songs for Happy People’ return with EP '02' - a bittersweet tryptic of new wave tunes.
The video for the opening track, the gender-agnostic ‘GIRL’ is lip-synced by a boy and features swaying men in skirts, hazy 80’s synths and grieving lyrics about acceptance, placed in an eerie setting that steals unapologetically, from Lynch and Kubrick’s best cinema.
