We have a new track from the popular true crime duo SKYND! The duo, SKYND and FATHER, have released a new single titled 'Edmund Kemper', which now concludes Chapter IV, and features a mysterious guitarist as a guest on the track.
Edmund Kemper, an American serial killer active in the 70s, is SKYND's latest victim to be analysed through lyrics. The music video is directed by Anique Wild and its cinematic and incredibly detailed. It also seems as if we hear less vocal effects and more of SKYND's real voice, and it's strong and clear. 'Edmund Kemper' is an electric track with tempo building and keeping you on edge waiting for the next part of the story the whole way through.
SKYND comments, "There is a detail to this story that stuck with me and sparked my creativity to write about Edmund Kemper. As a young boy, Edmund liked to play with Barbie dolls and dolls. He 'took' their heads off and that made a sound like a 'pop,' performing funeral rites. While translating true crime cases into music, I have a visual idea of the song, and the dolls had to be in the video. It was important to me to show the beheading of the doll because it illustrates his crimes, without being too gratuitous."
Browny caught up with SKYND at Copenhell recently and will be sharing that chat as part of our upcoming afterfilm. Keep a look out for more SKYND! We can't wait to see what Chapter V brings.
