Luna Shadows is back with her new single “gutspill”, and this time she is letting her feelings come out instead of keeping them to herself. The Los Angeles artist mixes crunchy emo-inspired guitars with dreamy electronic production and layered vocals, creating a track that is both emotional and fun.
The song was co-written and co-produced with Chris Freeman from Hot Mulligan, bringing in some early-2000s alternative and pop-punk energy. “gutspill” is about having feelings that are getting harder to hide, especially when you have a crush or something you just can't really say out loud.
Shadows explains, “‘gutspill’ is a song about when you fear your feelings are about to fall out like confetti. You can try to hold them in or push them down, but ultimately, it’s more fun to let them out. Do it just for the plot. It’s a crush you can’t confess, an overwhelming emotion you can’t shake. It’s an ode to saying what you mean, even if you have to turn it into poetry and put it in a song.”
The music video keeps the playful feeling going, with Freeman appearing on guitar and Shadows taking on a more traditional band performance style. She directed, produced, designed and edited the video herself, which shows just how involved she is with everything around her music.
