French singer Soko duets with L.A. lo-fi don Ariel Pink on half-ethereal, half-barren bass jam “Monster Love.” For the VHS-recorded video, which she directed, she’s crafted a narrative reflective of the title, in which a monster — who kind of reminds me of Phil Hartman’s SNL Frankenstein — searches for love, only to be rejected by many,including a mermaid.
French singer/actress Soko Augustine has shared her VHS-shot short film, “Monster Love”, which was inspired by co conspirator Ariel Pink and features her duet with Pink on the title track.
The film, was shot in the Silverlake neighborhood of L.A., features a heartbroken monster who tries to win the affection of a mermaid, but ends up with another monster (played by Soko).
Soko and Pink’s collaborative track, also titled “Monster Love”, opens the film. Her track “I Just Want to Make It New With You” is also featured, written about her friendship-turned-romance with Pink. Both tracks are on Soko’s debut LP “I Thought I Was an Alien”.
