When The Horn Blows Explains Steady Holiday’s “Terror” Video
According to When The Horn Blows, Steady Holiday‘s “Terror” (from her EP of the same name) takes a “stunning and shrewd approach to kitsch as Steady Holiday plays with spooky arrangements, dramatic, cinematic 60s influences and a hugely ironic sentiment, delivered through a subdued yet stirring vocal – effective in its entirety.” The site has an embed of the video, as well as a quote from the band’s Dre Babinski about how it originated and how it comments on society. “Both the video and song describe a character that is threatened by an unknown, and thinks/acts before taking the time to understand. It is upsetting to see that kind of reactiveness becoming common and accepted at every level, not just in our government but also in our homes and communities. It’s a bit of a cautionary tale,” she says.
