Destruction Of The Disgusting Ugly Hate

 - by Natascha 

I came across Soko’s hallucinatory new video for “Destruction of the Disgusting Ugly Hate.”  The track is featured on I Thought I Was An Alien, Soko’s new record. It was in lieu of this months recurring theme of perpetual feelings of guilt for neglecting friendship, initiating suburban wars, and familial resentment.

Does playing the villain also include ending up sometimes loving the ones you hate, and hating the ones you love?

Destruction of the Disgusting Ugly Hate:

Here’s a little note about her work and her video:

I Feel like we all have different ways to be self destructive..With this video.. i wanted to just acknowledge through images that it’s something i have in me for sure.. But the song and video is about killing those fears and transcending it into rebirth and happier thoughts and imagery.. Kill the dark past and make room for new bright emotions..

I wrote the song from a really really troubled place.. And that’s all i was able to convey at that time. It was clearly all dark, and all about suicide and feeling let down.. But 3 years after writing it.. I think, I know better.. So i wanted the video to dwell into the million possibilities of embracing the light after the darkest thoughts.. The sun after the night.”

Take less give, give more. There is so much more to be thankful for. I am so done with this and with feeling bad in general. I finally know who I am, what I want, and I’m in a hurry to get there.

Like somebody recently told me, “the real sin is unhappines.”
