Hometown Sounds

The title of Loi Loi‘s debut EP Viva La Vulva came from a pithy sign spied by singer Kristie Di Lascio at last year’s Women’s March in DC. The release of the EP’s third music video for “You May Be” displays impeccable timing as the #MeToo campaign evolves and the second annual Women’s March swept social media this past weekend. The song’s production drips with vintage late 80s goth-y synthpop from Depeche Mode and early Nine Inch Nails, while the video from Blight Records visual director Jen Meller casts Kate Ida and beloved DC expat Seán Barna in a blood red subterranean club full of tension and furtive looks. Someone resurrect MTV’s 120 Minutes again and get this video on it.
