What the Keepers Know

The Keepers is one of the stranger things on Santigold’s Master of My Make-Believe—darker and more circular than the album’s poppier moments, built around a melodic figure that keeps doubling back on itself. The video fits: post-apocalyptic staging, robes, imagery that suggests a cult you’d genuinely consider joining. Santigold has always worked in that narrow overlap between pop and something more unsettling, and this is maybe her clearest move in that direction.
