Gothic Tropic's Video for "How Life Works" Is About the Search for an Amazonian Jungle Demon

Naturally.

We've gotta a lotta love for LA-based singer Gothic Tropic—that's one Ms. Cecilia Della Peruti. Where the last single we premiered of hers was a timeless little number with a sense of antsy urgency and a killer bassline, "How Life Works" showcases a more mellow vibe. One dappled with sun and accessorized by a fanny pack, and also a sick 60s minty green suit.

"This song is poking fun at my former 'need to please' attitude when it came to friendships and romantic relationships," explains Gothic Tropic. "Loving someone who wants to "fix" you kind of sounds appealing, and standing firm in your character and identity takes fortitude. You shouldn't yield to someone else's whim. The video was conceived and directed by Matt Larsen (Pipus The Wise) about a space-time wide search for the Chullachaqui, an Amazonian jungle demon."
