Beach Fossils Debut Video For “Seconds”
Beach Fossils share their new single/video, “Seconds,” from their forthcoming album, Bunny, out June 2nd on Bayonet. frontman Dustin Payseur’s bittersweet lyrics: “When you are here // Seconds are so clear // And it’s all // fading away.” “Seconds” follows singles “Don’t Fade Away,” “Dare Me,” and “Run to the Moon.” Payseur adds, “Seconds is a song about realizing you love somebody more than they love you.”
From poignant words about a family member’s cancer battle to small, but meaningful moments with friends, Bunny is the band’s most vivid, grounded and personal work to date. The songs reflect on depression, love, adventure, loss, mistakes, New York City, friendships coming and going — a mélange of granular pieces in the process of continuing to find yourself. Payseur’s collage-like lyrics communicate through tone and mood as much as narrative; New York poets like Frank O’Hara, Ted Berrigan, and Anne Waldman were on his desk, as was the Tao Te Ching.
Inspired by the psych-pop of early Verve and Spiritualized albums and perennial influences like The Cure, Wire, The Byrds, and The Velvet Underground, Bunny was produced and recorded by Payseur himself, with Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, Soccer Mommy, Lil Peep) mixing.
