The single has been described as “an enchanting fusion of musical mastery and visual opulence, drawing inspiration from Rococo aesthetics and horror elements to create a unique experience reminiscent of the iconic Rocky Horror Picture Show.” This fits in theme with the band’s aesthetic, which Boston Survival Guide has described as “Dada-esque, carnival-run-amuck, and just plain old ‘not-always-so-clean’ fun”.

In a way, “Keep My Head” has an otherworldly sense of nostalgia that sinks down underneath your skin and makes you want to dance in slow motion. There’s something compelling about the way Walter Alice Sickert’s vocals bounce around in your head.
