mui zyu has released ‘sparky’, the latest single off her sophomore album nothing or something to die for. Following ‘the mould’ and ‘everything to die for’, the track features lei, e (Emma Lee Moss, formerly known as Emmy the Great). Check it out via the accompanying visual, created by fellow Dama Scout member Danny Grant, below.
“sparky is a song about welcoming simple happinesses in to your world, even in the face of awfulness,” Eva Liu explained in a statement. “it also plays with different ideas of what ‘happiness’ is, and observes the strange pursuit of endlessly chasing it, often looking in the wrong places, often at your own physical and mental expense. the song is named after the dog ‘Sparky’ from the opening of David Lynch’s ‘Blue Velvet’ who is the perfect image of joyfulness – biting water from a hose in front of their dead owner.”
nothing or something to die for arrives May 24 on Father/Daughter Records. Revisit our Artist Spotlight interview with mui zyu.
