Kisos‘ catalog is full of sad bangers. The kind you put on, get drunk, and curl up on the bathroom floor with. Take “He Didn’t Want Me,” an acoustic-wrapped weeper, for instance: in its dynamic sonic layers, blurring between indie-pop and singer/songwriter, Kisos comes to terms with suffocating loneliness. “If he loved me, he would have shown me more,” he cries. In the brand new visual, a collaboration with cinematographer Adam Ouellette, the NYC musician holds a mournful seance as a way to work through his pain — eventually rising like a may queen (think “Midsommar”) and proclaiming his truth. His acceptance of grief is admirable, striking upon an emotional plane we rarely confront so forthrightly.
