Indigo De Souza Shares Video for New Song “Smog”: Watch

The North Carolina singer-songwriter self-directed the video for the All of This Will End track

Indigo De Souza has shared another song from her forthcoming LP, All of This Will End. The latest track is titled “Smog” and it arrives with a video that De Souza directed herself. Check it out below.

In a press release, De Souza shared a statement about “Smog” and its pandemic-era influence:

I remember writing this song during the peak of the pandemic. I was living alone on a dead-end street surrounded by neighbors who were seemingly always mowing their lawns. I remember having a lot of anxiety during the day, navigating the newly awkward and uncertain experience of doing anything mid world freak-out. I was in an emotional state that felt like a cross between delirious joy and a real tired hopelessness. Everything felt unknown and distant. “Smog” is mostly about that strange time and how it felt in my house, alone. When the neighborhood was asleep, and all the lawn mowers stopped, I felt free to make anything and sing anything I wanted. It was my first time ever living alone. It brought me a lot closer to myself.

She further detailed her approach to the song’s video:

I wanted to make something that felt like one of those dreams where you’re going through mundane life motions, and then you realize that you’re dreaming because something completely out of the ordinary breaks your reality. That’s kind of what the pandemic felt like for me. Like my whole life I’d been moving through this rigid societal system that felt really unfair and unnatural, and when the whole thing suddenly fell apart, I realized that all of the structures I’d been placed in were just made up. They weren’t as powerful as I’d thought. But what does feel powerful to me is the opportunity to fill life with intention, to foster community, to grow and learn from nature, and from each other.

The North Carolina singer-songwriter announced her full-length follow-up to 2021’s Any Shape You Take with the single “Younger & Dumber” in February. All of This Will End is out April 28.
