Bushwick Daily is proud to premiere the brand new video for “Bottom Feeder [Version 2]” by Brooklyn indie rock outfit, LAPêCHE. The video is the group’s first from their new EP Spirit Bunnies and requires a close listen to peel back its multi-faceted, deeper meaning. In the video, the band connects a single shot, modern-day home recording focused on childhood innocence and juxtaposes it with the song’s darker lyrical content.

The video, when paired with the instrumentation and lyrical themes of the song, tackles contrasting themes of optimism and innocence with self-destruction and sadness. Conceptually, the band set out to illustrate the dissonance within the song by incorporating an uplifting visual element to pair with the track’s anthemic instrumentation, both of which contrast sharply with the dark lyrical content. Bassist Dave Diem notes that, “the music and melody have brooding moments but, in our opinion, it’s more so upbeat and revealing.”
