Is it possible to blend sanguine melodies and slick beats with morbid lyrics like “I’ll hang you upside down and let you drain for days” and “if you hide, I’ll apply cyanide”? Swedish trio Like Swimming (formerly known as You Say France & I Whistle) sure make it seem effortless, with their sinister-but-catchy second single “Go Buffalo.” The song is the follow-up to previous effort “God Knows,” and today Idolator is premiering the sepia-toned lyric video.

Between singer Ida Hedene‘s sugary-sweet vocals and the shining sun and soaring birds that populate the above visual for “Go Buffalo,” being hunted down and bumped off never sounded so lovely. Consider this further proof that Sweden has the uncanny knack for cranking out proper pop.

Give Like Swimming’s “Go Buffalo” lyric video a watch above, and let us know below what you think of the song.
