Natalie Lew AKA:Sea Lemon has released new single “Crystals,” the track is a collaboration with Ben Gibbard, and out today via Luminelle Recordings. the song finds Lew and the Death Cab For Cutie frontman trading verses over an instrumental. “I keep waiting on the line for a sound / Throwing crystals at the wall, all around,” the duo sing on the chorus.

On the track, Lew shares: “Crystals was written after I attempted “manifesting” for a good portion of 2023 and found myself feeling really lackluster about the whole process. I wrote most of the song after coming to this realization that “manifesting” or looking for signs in nature or everyday life is mostly just a coping mechanism to get by day to day. When Ben came on and wrote his verse, I loved his added angle—rather than attempting lighter coping mechanisms, just submitting oneself to being upset and living in that darkness for a while can be a way to cope in and of itself.

Ben’s contribution to this song is so exciting for me to say the least; as a huge Death Cab For Cutie fan growing up, Ben’s songwriting has inspired me since I got interested in songwriting myself.”
