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]
