We are beyond thrilled to get to check out the new single and video for “5” from Bay Area based indie rock band Small Crush via Asian Man records.

You can listen to “5” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here

In the video, directed by Jak Kerley at Shibby Pictures, the band transports themselves back to sunny pastimes, hanging out at a basketball court with ice cream cones, skating down sidewalks, swinging carefree in a park playground, and working a lemonade stand. You can check out the video below

We think we found the perfect summer song in “5” from Small Crush . “5” is pure magical musical bliss . The song’s dreamy melodies and stunning vocals make this song an absolute treat and…. any song that mentions a Game Boy Advance and Zelda is ultra cool in our book .

Small Crush has a sound and style that features unforgettable harmonies and vocals and just the right amount of punk and indie rock. Singer/guitarist Logan Hammon comments “a dear friend once described us as ‘sweetheart rock’ and I think that fits us quite well.”

Lead guitarist Jackson Felton says, “sonically 5 has a happy-go-lucky simplicity that balances out a sense of bittersweet nostalgia,” and Hammon notes the lyrics are about, “longing for a different time, but still being thankful for where you are now and how far you’ve come.” Originally composed when Hammon was only 13, the lyrics capture a certain frozen in time adolescence with lines like, “Playing Zelda on my Gameboy Advance/ signing out of tune and not caring how I dance/ Rocks are falling out of my pockets/ Big rainbow pops are glued to my eye sockets.”

We are all in on Small Crush and their absolutely stunning new single “5” Hammon’s voice is gentle and wistful, backed up by lead guitarist Jackson Felton, drummer Allen Moreno, and bassist Joey Chavez to create a sound reminiscent of artists like Frankie Cosmos, Snail Mail, Mom Jeans, and The Beths.

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.
