Watch: Love Comes In Spurts in Evripidis and His Tragedies “Dreamboat” (NSFW)
Barcelona-based band Evripidis and His Tragedies, fronted by queer artist Evripidis Sabatis, is once again on that romantic journey tip, on new track Dreamboat. The perfectly pop tune at first seems to be just another sappy missive about boys, with lyrics like ‘I dream all day of all those things we do…If only you were mine’. But, in the video, director David Domingo (aka Stanley Sunday) plays with surrealism and dark humor. Evripidis debuts his new song at what seems to be some sort of performance art show. The invited guests are members of the Barcelona pop scene, and even though they are far from impressed by the performance and the song, they nod their heads in unison, like some sort of bizarre Stepford Wives yoga class. Then, at the 2:20 mark, art gets TOO REAL!!! Perhaps Evripidis’ paranoia of receiving disdain from friends, fans and the art elite was all just in his HEAD…LOL!!!
