Luxury Death balance between twee and terrifying

Moving forward from Nai Harvest, Ben Thompson has teamed up with real-life partner Meg Williams to form Luxury Death, a whimsical indie-pop duo with seriously dark undertones. ‘Radiator Face’, the outfit’s lead single, exemplifies the juxtaposition between the twee and the disturbed. “I hear the screaming under your breath,” Williams sings in her distorted bubblegum fashion, only elevating the unsettling nuances intertwined with the track’s romance.

Successful relationships are built on a mutual understanding of each others’ intricacies, with Luxury Death accepting the pair’s subtly macabre leanings. ‘Radiator Face’ is a love song for the anarchic generation, set to continue blossoming into something potentially terrifying. Romantic, eh?
