You’re Pretty When You Panic is the lead single from KISS KISS CUT CUT, the debut EP from UK darksynth project VHS PANTY RIOT. KISS KISS CUT CUT is a five-track slasher story told entirely in synth. This is chapter one.
The track was mastered by Thibault Chaumont at Deviant Lab, whose credits include Carpenter Brut and HEALTH. Artwork is by David Placer at Placer Studios.
The project is only four months old, but this release already has 180+ pre-saves ahead of release, confirmed playlist support, press coverage scheduled for release week, and two further singles plus the full EP campaign following through June. Musically, it sits on the darker and heavier side of darksynth. It’s aggressive but with horror film tension and a rock/metal sense of impact and emotion. More ‘chase scene’ than ‘midnight drive’.
