Rochester, NY by way of Boston, MA indie-pop band Coral Moons announce their third single, ‘poser’, off their upcoming LP, summer of u, arriving June 25 via Better Company Records. ‘poser’ is a self acceptance anthem toying with the idea that we are all outsiders in our own bodies. It highlights the struggle and absurdity of trying to fit in, while poking fun at every person for inevitably feeling this kind of imposter syndrome. Alongside the track, Coral Moons is also dropping a music video.
In the music video, fans see frontwoman Carly Kraft awkwardly navigating a world full of expectations and unreasonable demands. From playing tennis, to performing at a goth club, Kraft tries to fit into a multitude of unfamiliar environments. With each scene we see her sense of humor grow, and resilience shows itself as she starts to just enjoy the places she’s in, rather than try to be the perfect fit.
The song has an effortless and lively sound to it, showcasing the happy accidents that were created in the studio during its inception. With an infectious pop rock groove, and a chorus featuring the seamless harmonies of Carly Kraft, this bop is sure to inspire many a car ride sing-along and bedroom dance party.
The summer of u project is described as a ‘victory album full of moxie’. It’s an autobiography that walks you through the twists and turns of being a woman in our society. It reflects on self-doubt and self-loathing whilst bringing you through the journey towards self-worth and self-acceptance.
