Cult starlet and acclaimed songwriter Luvcat returns with a new single, ‘Vampire At The Beach’, ahead of her much-anticipated forthcoming EP of murder ballads, Lovebites, out via AWAL on May 22.

The track is paired with a breathtaking video starring Luvcat opposite a dark, brooding figure. It features bathtub electrocutions and knife-throwing sequences, unfolding through imaginative, surreal visuals inspired by a gothic, vaudevillian style colliding with the modern world. Perhaps the first time a vampire sports peroxide-blonde hair and a cape with three Adidas stripes, while pebbled beach scenes evoke Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd.

‘Vampire At The Beach’ offers a glimpse into her upcoming body of work, with each track exploring the dark intersection of death and desire through Luvcat’s signature macabre storytelling.

Speaking about the song’s inspiration, Luvcat said: “I once had this ghostly-looking lover who had this unsettling hold over me. I was almost waiting for him to bite my neck. He truly had me clamped between his teeth. We were watching a Fellini film and seeing all these golden bodies dripping with sweat on the silky rocks of an Italian beach. I was just thinking, I can’t imagine being on a summer holiday with you. You’re a vampire.”
