  • BEWARE

    BEWARE takes sound bites from the 1961 anti-homosexual propaganda film Boys Beware and flips it on its head. The hacked-up narration serves as the voice over to a barrage of glitched intimacies making the homosexual monster more fun than frightening.

    He Loves Me Until He Hates Me is the long-form music video from Baby, You’re Projecting, Vivek Shraya’s debut label release on Mint Records.
