Green Velvet - La La Land

Despite apparently being a warning aganist the dangers of overindulging in pills, this still sounds phenomenally debauched to me.I think it’s the squelchiness of the synth, that just sounds….depraved. A commanding vocal from Curtis Jones as well, who captures the increasing disintegration of a spectacularly messy night on the tiles. The video is also increasingly disturbing, combing medicine and madness to worryingly grotesque effect. Surprisingly enough Green Velvet revealed in 2006 he had not been following his own warnings and had become a born again Christian after a serious overdose of a mixture of Magic Mushrooms, Marijuana and GHB.
Makes this son,g recorded a good five years earlier even more interesting. He was obviously aware overuse of drugs was bound to go wrong for him at some point but ultimately couldn’t do anything about it.
