Small Crush Release 'Ecosystem' From New Album 'Penelope'

Small Crush is today releasing a shimmery new single and music video, "Ecosystem," about immersing yourself in the natural world and finding the immense in the small. The new single comes ahead of their upcoming sophomore album, Penelope, out September 15 via Asian Man Records.

“Ecosystem is an ode to every rock, bug, and plant that goes unseen but makes a huge difference in our world," Small Crush says. With the band's classic longing, indie-pop sound, "Ecosystem" strips away all the noise of day-to-day life, leading listeners down scenic backroads and into quiet forests, asking them to finally slow down.

"We hope that other people can find comfort in our songs and have a soundspace to relieve some kind of emotion," lead singer Logan Hammon said about their music. "Ecosystem" does just that.

The song is slow, meandering through each verse with careful intention. "I'm skipping rocks into the stream / It rushes over me / everything is right here / And it's all I need," Hammon sings with gentle wonder. Her voice is lilting and tender, backed up by the smooth stylings of lead guitarist Jackson Felton, drummer Allen Moreno, and bassist Joey Chavez.

Small Crush will also soon be embarking on a month-long tour with The Happy Fits, Windser, and Hot Freaks this October as well as supporting Jeff Rosenstock in November and December.

About Small Crush

Small Crush comprises lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist Logan Hammon, lead guitarist Jackson Felton, drummer Allen Moreno, and bassist Joey Chavez. The band started making music inspired by Hammon’s voice memos and is titled based on a self-professed “inability to crush on someone for a long time, so lots of little crushes.” The effect of Hammon’s virtuosic lyrical introversion over playful riffs evokes Frankie Cosmos and Waxahatchee.
