Back in April, Native Sun returned with a rallying cry for refusing “to be consumed by a broken system” with the loose psych-rock single “I Need Nothing.” While no future record has been announced quite yet, the Brooklyn rockers are back with another thematically and musically heavy track called “Squash,” which pairs the band’s frantic garage-rock sound with existentially sobering lyrics examining the past, present, and future all at once.
“‘Squash’ came to life after a night that bled into morning, wrapped in the quiet shame between the last stragglers of the night and the first workers of the day,” the band shares. “It’s that moment of reflection—sparked by sobering daylight, a kind of inner dialogue—when you start to question where your life’s been, what you’ve missed, and what still might be coming—just out of view, but hard to shake.”
Alongside the track is a music video that reminds us that the band doesn’t take all of this too seriously—hence the subject of the visual being a clown shredding cigs in Times Square. Check that out below, and revisit “I Need Nothing” here.
