Earlier this 12 months, we named crushed — the challenge of Shaun Durkan and Bre Morell — as one in every of our rising artists to look at, and right this moment the dream-pop duo are again with the rerelease of their debut EP, further life, by way of Ghostly Worldwide.
Along with the reissue, crushed shared their first-ever music video for the bleary, trip-hop-inspired tune “waterlily,” which glints between totally different scenes of the band taking part in exterior and driving round LA. “For our first music video, we actually hoped to seize the essence of our favourite ’90s pop movies which have impressed this challenge from the beginning,” the band say. “‘waterlily’ is a really sentimental tune to us, and Erynn Lamont and her workforce did a fantastic job of bringing it to life.”

Director Erynn Patrick provides, “From the primary time I heard ‘waterlily,’ I felt a robust connection to the visuals evoked by the tune. It is stunning and ethereal, immediately bringing to thoughts the traditional imagery of different music movies from the ’90s and early 2000s. Bre and I’ve been pals for practically a decade, so I reached out to her straight away to let her know I needed to attempt to deliver that power to life.”
Later this spring crushed will play a string of reveals in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Montreal forward of their look at Outbreak Fest in June.
