Your cholo goth faves, Prayers, released the video for their latest single, “Black Leather,” through Pitchfork on Friday and IT IS GLORIOUSLY GOTH. It even features Kat Von D! It’s more goth than a raven sitting on a skull reading Bolaño in the rain. It’s more goth than Siouxsie Sioux contemplating La Santa Muerte while listening to The Cure in a cemetery. It’s more goth than opening a mazapan and having it break in your hand while Morrissey plays on a loop through your brain.
Let’s zoom in for a closer look at the video’s gothiest moments:

Those mantillas are hiding something far more sinister than just the fact that the cookie tin is full of sewing supplies.

I like them. I would give any of them my last clove cigarette.

Nothing makes you want to chill in a catacomb like a migraine. Ergo, migraines are goth.
9. Her Bangs

Also, her forearm skirts.
10. This Girl And Her Necklace

The other guys are goth, but he’s the most goth.
12. This Lewk

This man is iconic, and I want to read Poe to him.
13. And Leaving The Club Early Because You’re Over It
