Minaxi - "Theresa"

Look At My Records! Is excited to premiere the video for “Theresa,” the latest single from Brooklyn shoegaze outfit Minaxi.  The psych-tinged track will appear on the band’s forthcoming EP, Luna, which is the first in a trio of EPs that the band has dubbed The Zia Fantasy. Luna is set for release on Friday, June 26th.

“Theresa” builds off of some of the towering peaks the band scaled on their recently released debut album, Khwab. With a flowing, dream-like rush of guitars and percussion, the song’s trajectory is enveloping, slowly tugging you into a deep pool of aural delights. The track also features some powerful keys and poetic lyrics with vivid and descriptive imagery, beautifully likening the smile and eyes of the song’s protagonist to a “tranquil sea” and a “crescent moon.”

The black and white, slow-motion video follows frontman Shrenik Ganatra’s friend Reese as she traverses through a variety of scenery, including cacti and other greenery, city streets, and a train car. In commenting on the song and video, Ganatra described both as being inspired directly by Reese: “We have been friends since 2017 and the first time I saw her, I said ‘I am going to write a song inspired by you". Three years later, here we are.”

Stream the video below and check out the band’s other great videos for songs like “It’s Got Me” and “Stargazer” via their Youtube channel.  “Theresa” will be available on all streaming platforms tomorrow, including Spotify and Apple Music. You can also check out Minaxi on Instagram and Bandcamp.
