Video Of The Day LAL TUNA
Istanbul-born, Bordeaux, France-based singer-songwriter Lal Tuna follows up last May’s gothic ballad “Television Forever,” with the warmer Americana-tinged new single, “Car Crashes,” via Nothing Is Mine Records, paired with a DIY music video.
Entirely recorded in her apartment, “Car Crashes” explores the ambiguity of the life of an artist, intertwined with themes of coming-of-age and sexual liberation.

Fear swept in love guides the growth of Lal Tuna‘s vibrantly radiating intimate vocals from fragile, softly sung vulnerability to sad, soulful introspectiveness, layering through a desertic landscape where slow shimmery guitar strums, subtly drone wistful rambling and echoing sparkling ripples, to weave together the springy echoes of Alice Fia Zapata’s bass guitar with slowly restless rattles, subdued enveloping brassy string glows, and an undertow of light trudging percussions, evoking a deep sense of melancholy lifted and lightened by a newfound hope.
In the Official Music Video, made by the artist herself, Lal Tuna performs “Car Crashes” alongside a winding country road in Turkey with windblown hair while a dust storm looms on the horizon. A burnt yellow tint overcasts an array of nostalgic imagery, such as old-time towns, modern suburban rooftops, and ancient desert landscapes, to create a timeless stream of consciousness in sync with the surreal soundtrack.
