Beauty In Chaos Release “Kiss Me (Goodbye)” Featuring Julian Shah-Tayler
The LA-based collective, Beauty In Chaos, have joined forces with Julian Shah-Tayler and drummer Pete Parada (Face To Face, The Offspring) on their single “Kiss Me (Goodbye)”. The track is bound to be adored by fans of David Bowie, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Mission.
“Memorable, whimsical, danceable and impeccably performed... a balanced, pleasurable mix of the easily accessible classic pop of Prefab Sprout and Aztec Camera, woven together with the infectious allure of early Smashing Pumpkins and The Mission UK”
Thanks to the Grammy nominated producer Micheal Rozon, the track has more glam power compared to their album Behind The Veil. The BIC curator Micheal Ciravolo’s goth-gaze textures creep around the infectious melody and perfect chord structure. The music video was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films.

HorseHead guy - ?“Julian had done a handful wonderful re-envisions for us over the last two albums, which lead me to listening to his fantastic solo work. I felt he had an entirely unique voice and captivation stage presence, so I jumped at the chance to work with him on a song!”
“Vicente has done so many of our videos, it is almost second-nature for us when filming. He is very aware of how adamant I am that each video is different from its predecessor. I was drawn to this video location, and just wanted to go in and have fun in the multiple ‘locations’ we had at our disposable there. And, of course in true BIC artistry, this is way different than the almost mini-movie script I handed Vicente for our latest single ‘Bloodletting’. It was Julian’s idea to weave in an ever so slight story line at the end.”
Julian Shah-Tayler, who is known for his electro rock new wave ‘intellipop’, has pursued a path with collaboration, performance, and production with several incredible artists. These include David J of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets, Alan McGee, Joaquin Phoenix, Antony Langdon of Spacehog, Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama and Shakespears Sister, and the legendary producer, Robert Margouleff.
After having great success in TV and film, including Disney’s Maleficent, he had received a Golden Trailer award for his work with Lana Del Rey and had his music performed at the Oscars. When he’s not writing, recording, and producing, he is selling out shows with his Depeche Mode tribute band, Strangelove.
“I’m honored to collaborate with Michael on this excellent song. I loved the track from first listen and found it meshed perfectly with my aesthetic. Romantic and slightly dark, without straying too far into the irretrievable goth realm. We both decided we wanted it to be more than just a band-performance video. Since the lyrics are about the dissolution of a relationship, it felt appropriate to me to bring in the exquisite Eva Strangelove - burlesque dancer and my lissome love - to play the role of my temptress and heart wrecker in an improvised sci-fi Lynchian narrative of loss and rejection.”
