NYC alt-pop artist Kiki Kramer shares ‘dionysus’, the third single from her forthcoming EP.
‘dionysus’ fuses hyper-pop energy with an indie heart, diving into groupie culture, envy, and the distortions of digital validation. Named after the Greek tragedy The Bacchae, the track explores patriarchal fixation and obsession.
“‘dionysus’ is about a parasocial crush I once had on a rising celebrity. I compare the experience to one of my favorite Greek tragedies, The Bacchae, in which the god Dionysus possesses an entire village of women, leading them into the woods to drink, have sex, and ultimately murder the ruler of Thebes. It’s a story that eerily echoes the Manson murders.”

The accompanying music video merges the aesthetics of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette with 2000s scene queen energy.
