Tess Parks has released her new single ‘Crown Shy’ which is lifted from her forthcoming album Pomegranate, landing October 25th on Fuzz Club Records. The track follows her previous tune ‘Koalas’, which she shared last month.

‘Crown Shy’ is an easing dream pop offering that is powered by continual looping guitar riffs before being surrounded by dreamy synth and strings.

Along with the song, Tess Parks has also dropped an official video for ‘Crown Shy’. Directed by Adam Carr, you can find Parks trekking through the forest in an astronaut suit.

Touching on the single, Tess Parks mentioned:

“This was the only song on the album that we didn’t write from far apart and inspired us to finish the album in person. Ruari sent me this song in early July 2023, literally seconds after I had said goodbye to my sister, Isabella, who was travelling that summer to Paris from King’s Cross Station. As always, Ruari’s timing was perfect and the music sounded exactly like how I was feeling.

This song is my gratitude to my family – and my sister especially – for being the main reason for my sobriety from alcohol, and the happiness I felt reconnecting with my sister after a fractured few years. In a broader sense, though, it’s important to remember that everyone in the world is related. We are all family. We can all always be on the same team. When we realise our commonalities instead of our differences, when we realise and own our piece in every situation and understand that we are co-creators of our realities, our worlds can really shift and it will feel like a miracle.”
