IAN SWEET, otherwise known as Jilian Medford, released the first track “Hiding,” from her upcoming album Crush Crusher. The album will be out on Hardly Art records on October 26th. The track also came with a music video and the announcement came with tour date starting in October.
About the track, “Hiding,” Medford said, “Hiding is a song I wrote for myself to be reminded to never get consumed with anything to the point of forgetting about my own needs. This song is a projection of a sanctuary in which I feel safe and strong in my own desires. It is something I long for, to be confident in the things that make me, me. The song opens with convincing myself that it is ok to hide/shy away from situations when really I should never have to convince myself of anything other than what, just…feels good. This is my admittance to losing and forgetting something to someone else, but demanding to take it back.”
