Sometimes two people meet and just click. This was definitely the case for Crystal Douesnard and Thomas Moore who met on the road while touring with other bands. It didn’t take them long that they had a shared love for creating something new and different. After coming off the road, they hunkered down in a downtown LA apartment to begin writing and recording before hitting the recording studio. Now an official duo and going by the name MARNEY, their music is such that explores several dark emotions, but brings with it and captures a sense of nostalgia. Their first single, “Conversations” has so far racked up over 420K streams on Spotify alone and their new single, “Fireflies”, the lyric video for which PopWrapped are delighted to premiere, is proving to be just as popular.
Crystal says of their new visuals: This lyric video is really meant to capture the vibe and the feeling that we are conveying in “Fireflies”. The song is really about simpler times and the nostalgia that we feel when looking back. We wanted to go with a hand-drawn type of lyric video to spark memories of the days that we would doodle in our notebooks in school. The video feels almost child-like, but also has drawings that can spark feelings during these current times. The lyric video should make people feel somewhat nostalgic, but also should feel relatable to the feelings that most of us are having now. We hope that the song and video fill people with nostalgia, but also fill them with hope that their inner child isn’t lost.”
