Ahh, Valentine’s Day, that Hallmark holiday which celebrates love by rubbing it in singles’ faces. Midtown gloom-meister Harry Koniditsiotis understands your pain, and wants to help you. His new single with gothsemble Switchblade Kid is “more of an acceptance of a relationship’s end and moving on to better things.”
“Love Has Gone Away” boasts a subtly bumping beat to help you cry it out on the dance floor. “The video was filmed way back during lockdown as the album was being recorded,” says Koniditsiotis. “Surrounded by piles of dead leaves and flashing lights, the band looks like they are having a backyard Lynchian seance calling Laura Palmer in the Black Lodge”
If you’re over your heartbreak by April, Koniditsiotis invites you to Midtown Con, the annual comic/toy/record convention he throws, happening this year on April 27th at Black Lodge. “The Memphis one, not the one in Twin Peaks, sadly.”
