West Coast power trio, Fieldrush, are gearing up for the release of their debut EP “Fundamentals” with a music video for the leading single “Nectarine”.
The video has the feel of a nostalgic montage with home videos of the band goofing around and playing shows between shots of front man Trevor Johnson singing the lyrics into the camera. Amidst the retrospective looking back, you can feel the electric charisma of the trio showing off how the trio are friends first and a band second.
“We filmed the majority of this video spontaneously while we toured and combined the footage with everything we’d filmed up until that point” says guitarist and vocalist Trevor Johnson. “We captured a lot of things we would be doing whether or not there was a camera rolling so it really is a video that embodies what it’s like to just hang out with us.”
It’s a heartwarming video despite (or perhaps because of) the goofiness of the whole thing like a time capsule of the band’s beginnings. If it manages to still feel this good in the next 5-10 years, Fieldrush will have succeeded at capturing the essence of the band and its music as something that elicits pure camaraderie and a montage of good times in the summer sun.
Alchemical Records contributing writer Cynthia Gross digs deep in her extensive coverage of “Fundamentals.”
“Nectarine” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Deezer. The accompanying music video is also available on YouTube. Find this and more great music on the Alchemical Records Mutligenre Mixture playlist on Spotify and YouTube.
