She’s green, and the rising dream-pop collective is starting off 2025 strong with “Graze,” a luminous new single shared in the wake of their signing to NYC’s Photo Finish Records.
“Graze” is a slow-burning, hazy track that draws you into a haze of memory and desire. “Graze” opening is hypnotic, featuring warped, multi-tracked guitars that bend and shimmer under lead singer Zofia Smith’s floaty vocals. Her voice is intimate and distant, like a checked-out photograph given a charcoal life.
“Graze” is about feeling stuck in a distant memory and hoping to find a way out,” she’s green shares. “The only way out seems to be through and facing it head-on, finally getting the release you need.”
And that release does come. The urgency builds along with “Graze.” The guitars grow heavier, the drums more relentless. Smith’s final refrain is slightly altered, from being “swallowed by” the ghosts of the past to being simply “followed by” them. The weight is lifted, but the memory becomes.
The accompanying music video for “Graze” reflects this transformation. Dream sequences of a forest and a glimmering stream coalesce, sketched over with images of Smith traversing the landscape. As the song swells, so too do the visual overlays become more frenetic, while sunlight sputters and fills the frame.
With a North American tour supporting Glixen and festival debuts at Noise Pop and Freakout Weekender, 2025 is poised to be her Green’s biggest year. “Graze,” however, is only the start.
