Taste Test: Ceschi injects icy venom into the shimmering ‘Daybreak’
The Connecticut genre-smasher pulls back for a roots-y performance in a grim, bloody new video.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
The old adage “if you love them, let them go” comes centerstage in Ceschi‘s brutally unnerving new music video. The song “Daybreak,” inspired by a sour relationship whose remains would continue to haunt him, is soothing and warm, an unexpected stylistic swerve for the Connecticut genre-smasher. “Break all my bones / I’ll wait for them to grow / Then I will crawl my way out from this hole,” he sings, as the fractures of love become splinters digging into his flesh. The visual stars Whitney Flynn in a devastatingly unsettling performance as a scorned woman, whose mental capacity is suspect, and she soon falls prey to the demons shaking inside her brain. The twinkling production is a chilling, yet lovely, juxtaposition against a deadly backdrop, and the final frame will send goosebumps writhing up and down your backbone.
“Daybreak” is lifted from Ceschi’s new album, Sad, Fat Luck, out everywhere now.
