Eyedress just released the cinematic music video for his song “Spit On Your Grave.” The “Jealous” singer takes on the persona of a swagger-filled vampire for the single and accompanying visual.
The feverishly paced video cuts through a stormy city, shrouded in night. The visual features frenzied shots of Eyedress, his partner Elvia and his crew moshing their way through the Gotham-esque city, on the hunt. The singer even dons a maroon suit, old-school walking stick and gold grill.
“Everyone who played a role was casted by me,” creative collaborator Brvinfreeze says. “These are my brothers. Each one of them is unique in their own special way. They all play themselves in this film.”
“Spit On Your Grave” is the darker side of a two-song single. Where “Spit On Your Grave” is grim and antagonistic, “Something About You” featuring Dent May is dreamy and lighthearted.
“Something About You” features two couples on a romantic vacation that Wes Anderson would approve of. The sweet love song makes you want to sway along to its groovy guitar riffs while watching the playful video directed by Bobby Astro.
Eyedress will be performing as part of the Veeps Wiltern Livestream Series June 25 at 9 p.m. ET. You can get tickets to Eyedress’ exclusive Veeps performance here, and the video event will be rewatchable until June 28.
Eyedress is also set to play Riot Fest on Sept. 17. He will be performing alongside bands such as Coheed and Cambria, the Smashing Pumpkins, Beach Bunny and Meet Me @ The Altar, among many more. He will also be playing in Brooklyn and Detroit.
“The one I’m most known for right now is the song ‘Jealous,’ and I think that whole song and the video reflects who I am lately,” Eyedress says. “I’m a skater, so you see in the video I skate, and I’m wearing a Death Rowsweater. I grew up in the hood. Just like a mixture of skate culture and punk rock. I think that song lyrically represents me. It was only a couple of years ago, but I was a little immature. I still feel pretty youthful even though I’m 30 already. I just try to keep that spirit of being creative alive, and I’m never really trying to lose sight of that side of me. Music’s always been something I did for fun. It’s crazy that it’s become something I can make a living off of. I’m just grateful. Music for me is just a therapeutic thing [where] I get to vent and get things off my chest.”
Eyedress is also involved in a few side projects. He’s producing an album with YUNGMORPHEUS and playing in a band called the Simps. He also makes music with his partner, Elvia. You can watch the music video for the song they made for their son together, “Cotton Candy Skies,” below.
When he isn’t working on his music, he’s working on his clothing brand, Paranoia. The name behind the brand comes from a personal place.
“I dealt with a lot of mental health issues growing up,” Eyedress explains, “but I’ve somehow managed to turn it into a brand.”
