Premiere: Crushed Out's latest music video "Out of the Blue"

NYC-based husband/wife team, Crushed Out, is back at it again, and The Deli is thrilled to premiere the duo's newest music video, "Out of the Blue." The video spotlights the band's super fun, assuredly trippy aesthetic, and the tune alternates heavy, bluesy riffs with the group's signature surf rock hooks--making "Out of the Blue" feel ambiguous in decade, but instantly infectious.

Crushed Out premieres new video "Love Howl"

The newest bare-knuckled single/video combo from Brooklyn-based duo Crushed Out, "Love Howl," delivers blaring, bluesy garage rock reminiscent of powerful bands like Jack White's side project Dead Weather. The track lives up to its name, with vocals yelping their way through fuzzy guitars, and a primal drumbeat. The video is DIY-ish but drips with animal magnetism, pairing the tune with images of mystical, half-human creatures losing themselves to their mating calls. (Why humans don't do mating calls by the way? Let's bring them back, NYC!) Be sure to catch Crushed Out at their Le Poisson Rogue album release show on September 28 with High Waisted, Caged Animals, and Prima. -Olivia Sisinni
A Deli premiere: Crushed Out's "Two Lovebirds" video

We can't think of anything better, for a musician, than finding a like-minded band mate that ends up becoming also a lover - or vice versa. That's he idyllic situation Brooklyn duo Crushed Out is in, which brought to life their new album 'TEETH.' presented by the the band as an "ode to all the potential energy wrapped up in life, in the ocean, and in love." Often described as a surf pop duo, in the new record Crushed Out seems to shifts its inspiration towards the roots of American music, filtered through the songwriting lens of guitarist/vocalist Franklin Russell Hoier. Here's what the couple has to say about the video we are premiering below: "Two Lovebirds is a song for all you outlaw lovers. Sometimes you have to be a rebel and an outlaw to love the way you wanna love. We wrote it with the underdog feeling of being two small birds in a big bad world, yet your love for each other is a secret super power."
Crushed Out is currently on an intensive US tour that will last until early December.
