Chicago-based indie-pop band Beach Bunny have shared the video for “Prom Queen,” the title track off their 2018 EP of the same name.
The video, which dropped on New Year’s Eve and is billed as “a movie by Beach Bunny,” finds frontwoman Lili Trifilio grappling with the utter inescapability of societal standards of beauty for women. “I’m a defect, surgical project / It’s getting hard to breathe / there’s plastic wrap in my cheeks / Maybe I should try harder,” Trifilio sings.
