Minneapolis band she’s green are sharing their new single “Graze,” their first new music since signing to NYC’s Photo Finish Records. A glistening and layered guitar track produced by Henry Stoehr of Slow Pulp, mixed by Sonny DiPerri (DIIV, My Bloody Valentine) and mastered by Alec Ness (Paris Texas, Lutalo), this wistful single is filled with lulling acoustic guitar that cascades into distorted oblivion.
“This song is about feeling trapped in a distant memory and longing to find a way out,” she’s green says about “Graze.” “The only way to escape seems to be facing it head-on and finally getting the release you need.”
“The first time I heard she’s green’s music, I was completely and utterly compelled,” says Photo Finish Director of A&R Shane Friedman. “I knew I had to see this band live, immediately. So on a sweltering June day, I flew to Minneapolis and piled into a hot, sweaty basement with 100 other local fans and watched them hypnotize the entire crowd. It was a show I’ll never forget. As we got to talking, I knew this was a band who had a clear vision for not only what they want their music to sound like, but also the world they intend to build around it. They’re imaginative, innovative and incredibly talented musicians. We could not be more excited to welcome them to the Photo Finish family and hit the ground running.”
The music video features vocalist Zofia Smith swirling around greenery and serenity until the song bursts into distorted chaos, with frenzied visuals to match. A world of flora and fauna swallows Smith whole, rippling water shimmers as sunlight peeks through the trees. “Graze” takes the listener out of reality, into the past and through to the present. The video was shot by guitarist Liam Armstrong and features production and additional filming from Eugene Langlois and Krystal Doung.
“Graze” is the band’s first offering since their 2023 debut EP, Wisteria, which received recognition from all corners of the internet amid the growing North American shoegaze renaissance. Songs like “Mandy” and “Syndulla” quickly became fan favorites for their otherworldly sound, thoughtful production and emotionally intense lyrics.
she’s green is a Minneapolis-based dream-inducing five-piece composed of vocalist Zofia Smith, guitarists Liam Armstrong and Raines Lucas, bassist Teddy Nordvold, and drummer Kevin Seebeck. Creating dreamscapes that transport the listener to scenes of soft summer rain and fields of swaying wheat, the group excels at infusing raw emotional intensity into their music.
