The stop motion/claymation music video for King Black Acid’s “Kissed at the Cemetery” with the images a cemetery, the vampire guitarist/singer, aliens coming down to harass and then put into coffins is the perfect storybook presentation for the song’s lyrics. Musically it’s a gentle, psychedelic pop number with a luminous guitar melody and paired vocals that are both elevated and whimsical that fans of Broncho and The Flaming Lips will appreciate though it has a more lighthearted pop touch. The surreal lyrics are about true love and the perils of the forces of evil coming to threaten it. In this case the character of The Devil so maybe the story is set in a universe where our protagonist is in uneasy cahoots with the Horned One. But whatever the case, as if a song has to make strict narrative sense anyway, apparently the titular cemetery is a party on the weekend and marijuana gives our narrator special powers and an unlikely true love wins out in the end.
