crushed – cwtch

Following the announcement of their debut album no scope, which will arrive on September 26th via Ghostly International, crushed share the new offering from the project with “cwtch.”

The new single is swirling with synths and emotional lyrics vocalized by Shaun Durkan with harmonies from vocalist Bre Morell. “cwtch” is the second taste of no scope following the duo’s lead single “starburn,” which arrived with a video directed by Luke Orlando.

Speaking about the new single, Durkan shares, “‘Cwtch’ is a Welsh word meaning an embrace with a sense of offering warmth and safety, a safe place. I wrote the song during a period where I was really struggling to ‘live life on life’s terms.’ A time when learning new ways of coping with difficult feelings felt like an enormous challenge, and returning to self destruction sounded like returning home.”

This September and October, crushed will join Cafuné on their North American tour for a run of 19 shows with performances in Washington, D.C., Montreal, Chicago, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Austin, Brooklyn, and more.
