Icky Blossoms Will Rip Your Heart Out With the Bloody New Video for "In Folds"

Here we are, the first video to gross you out and pull at your heartstrings at the same time.

From the opening bars of “In Folds,” it sounds like Icky Blossoms are going for one of the many chase scenes in a Carpenter film. Once the track opens up, it’s a whole new ballgame; synth pop driven by female vocals with hints of yearning and darkness bring to mind the epic scope of Anthony Gonzalez’s work.

The video is totally on some weird John Carpenter shit though. Opening with a kidnapping, our fearless vocalist Sarah Bohling faces her kidnappers and is forced to play a particularly “killer” show complete with blood spatter everywhere. After that, things get very Buffalo Bill ala Silence of the Lambs and then take a total left turn. It’s weird enough to watch more than once and thankfully the track lends itself to hella repeats. Check it out below.

Order Icky Blossoms’s new LP Mask , due on May 12. The band took the above pre-tour photo recently, so catch them at a gig near you. Dates are below.
