MICRA - CORAL CRUSH - SONG REVIEW

Nov 13

From Sydney, Australia, comes dream-pop infused duo known as Micra. They burst onto the scene in 2018 with the success of their single ‘Child Grows Old,’ and are back to blow us away with ‘Coral Crush.’

‘Coral Crush’ is mesmerizing just moments in, with a synth and bass filled verses and a chorus that will definitely make you want to groove along. Sweet, sweet bass keeps up throughout the song along with gorgeous, haunting vocals. This group is a really interesting mix of indie pop and alternative glam-synth; giving off big time MGMT and Empire of the Sun vibes.

The music video contains a beautiful oceanic visual, quite literally. It stars the duo standing dead center in the water, staring up at the sky, while others swim and float in various positions around them. Green effects reminiscent of the northern lights play out on the screen; a nice touch to an already stunning video.

Filmed in Sydney’s northern beaches, the calmness of the swimmers in the water and kaleidoscopic visuals further add to the single’s nostalgic familiarity. Micra have truly outdone themselves with this pop-filled hit, and we know they’ll be back with more.

Along with the exquisite video, ‘Coral Crush’ is a song that you definitely want on your summer and late night drive playlists. Keep an eye on Micra for more psychedelic synth-pop goodies like this in the future, and listen to ‘Coral Crush,’ streaming everywhere now!
