Halloween vibes continue and why the hell not. Here’s Devon Thompson‘s new deathly dark, post-punk alt-pop single ‘So Close’.

“Halloween embodies its theme. It also is the event or theme that I relate to the most and supports the dark edge to my music and my style. It’s always been my favorite holiday, and I’ve always wanted to release something that’s not necessarily a ‘Halloween song’, but that really has a darkness to it.”

“I was on a little bit of a ‘serial killer documentary’ kick when I got the inspiration for this song. It’s essentially a fictional story about a person who goes mad and kills their lover. Why did they do it? Did they do it because they’re just crazy? Did someone tell them to do it? In my head, they’ve been a serial killer all along, and one day something snaps in them, and all they can think about is the poetry and the beauty in their lover being buried in a beautiful garden.”
