Blushing Share "Dream Merchants" Video on FLOOD Magazine

Blushing, a shoegaze staple in the Austin music scene, return with another single and video from their upcoming summer 2019 first full-length record. FLOOD Magazine has the premiere of the track, as well as the full write up for the video. About the power of dreams and their premonitory value on waking life, the band echoes the subject matter of the song with their woozy and swirling shoegaze sound:

"The video concept came about because Christina had a dream about a dear friend who passed away. In the dream he was telling her to go to New Orleans. A month later we were planning our trip back from Athens Georgia where we were playing Athens Pop Fest and realized we would be driving back through New Orleans. She decided she should get a tarot reading while there because of the significant coincidence. Unfortunately the tarot reading wasn't able to happen but it did inspire the lyrics she sings during the bridge and the music video where we see her get a reading."
