“Met a young man who said, ‘You are everything’ / And gave me everything / But I really scared him / Because all I talk about with him is / Beheading young men,” Erin Birgy sings at one point on “The Clown”, the lead single from her art-pop project Mega Bog’s forthcoming seventh studio album, End of Everything. The listen, rich with mystery and climax, is akin to walking through a hall of mirrors. Carnival synths dash in and out of view and bright white light reflects distorted views that cause you to wonder: What is real and what is actually behind the makeup. “So, how do you see me, now? / Am I still that clown / You found charming?” The answer may hold an exit, or perhaps another twist and turn…

Directed by: Erin Birgy

Mega Bog’s End of Everything will be released May 19th on Mexican Summer.
