Emo-pop artist Boy Destroy drops infectious new single Left Handed

Boy Destroy has dropped an absolutely ace new single and video, Left Handed.

Discussing the darker inspiration behind this otherwise seemingly upbeat emo-pop banger, the musician explains: “I have had nightmares since I was a child. The liberating but also claustrophobic feeling that anything can happen. Like running from room to room in a warped hotel with flickering lights and strange, screeching, sounds in your ears.

“The title is referring to everything being upside down. I’m not left handed in real life, but here somehow I wake up and I am. I wove more hallucinatory attributes into the lyrics: Losing teeth, losing hair, skin suddenly shrinking all over my body and I can’t move. Sometimes the dream is more real than reality.”

Boy Destroy will be releasing a new EP – the follow-up to 2021 debut Warpaint – in February next year via Warner Music Sweden. In the meantime, watch the video for Left Handed below:
