JEKKA's "City of Night" Is Like 'Hostel' Meets 'Virgin Suicides'

The Moscow-based producer and vocalist finds inspiration from coming-of-age thrillers in her latest video.

"City of Night" is the lead track off the City of Night EP by Moscow-based producer and vocalist JEKKA (Jenny Nedosekina), featuring Yura Makarychev from the Russian indie band On-The-Go. The song is about "living in a big city which devours you like some gigantic beast, like the devil who knows your weak spots," explains Nedosekina. But director Yury Chernykh took the video in a new direction, finding inspiration in teenage slasher flicks and horror movies. "This is a story when one girl lures another girl into her grandmother's house and this other girl is harassed," Chernykh adds. "We wanted to take the classic road of coming-of-age thriller movies like Hostel and other recognizable movie-cliches." Check out the creepily mesmerizing video above.
