In the prior year, the Ophelias issued their acclaimed third studio LP, Spring Grove. Today, spearheading the project, Spencer Peppet unveils “Power,” her first solitary release in nearly a decade.
The track was produced by Calvin Lauber and features a sample from Jevin Almazan. Regarding the song, Peppet notes, “Why are beverages priced at eighteen dollars these days? What’s that about? A drink should be around ten dollars. This track examines watching gorgeous people at a lavish event and feeling out of place, only to grow angry about something entirely different.”
“Power” arrives enveloped in shoegaze fuzz and stuffed with witty, relatable lines: “I’m funny when I’m by myself/ And grating when I open my mouth,” Peppet laments. It is accompanied by a music video created by Peppet in collaboration with Jo Schaffer, her bandmate in the Ophelias. Watch below.
