Earlier this yr, we named crushed — the mission of Shaun Durkan and Bre Morell — as one in every of our rising artists to observe, and right now the dream-pop duo are again with the rerelease of their debut EP, further life, through Ghostly International.
In addition to the reissue, crushed shared their first-ever music video for the bleary, trip-hop-inspired music “waterlily,” which sparkles between completely different scenes of the band taking part in outdoors and driving round LA. “For our first music video, we really hoped to capture the essence of our favorite ’90s pop videos that have inspired this project from the start,” the band say. “‘waterlily’ is a very sentimental song to us, and Erynn Lamont and her team did a beautiful job of bringing it to life.”

Director Erynn Patrick provides, “From the first time I heard ‘waterlily,’ I felt a strong connection to the visuals evoked by the song. It’s beautiful and ethereal, instantly bringing to mind the classic imagery of alternative music videos from the ’90s and early 2000s. Bre and I have been friends for nearly a decade, so I reached out to her right away to let her know I wanted to try to bring that energy 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.
