Contents

In an interview with Rolling Stone , Jess said "The whole theme of Gothic Summer is that it's basically exploring social commentary on what we think is reality versus how we create our reality. It's a very metaphorical album." [2]

The duo also reported that some songs had been influenced by bands like The B-52's and The Cramps: "[It's] more of the music that we grew up listening to, rather than what you would expect The Veronicas to make for a radio song, if that makes sense." [3]

Reception

Zoë Radas from Stack Magazine called Gothic Summer "a triumphant return for the duo, which showcases their signature sound while exploring exciting new territory, delivering a pop masterpiece with a stormy vein twisted through its track list." Radas said "The album delves into themes of self-discovery, emotional obsession, societal pressures and the complexities of human relationships, all with a healthy dose of self-awareness." [4]
