We posted about this video “Everything Is Embarrassing” from Sky Ferreira when it came out a couple weeks back, but oh my god you guys, if anything, having some time to sit with it, aka watch it 100 times in a row) since then has somehow made us fall even more in love with her—I mean it, the song. OK, fine, both. You can do the same at a handful of shows this week, including tonight at Union Hall in Brooklyn, as well as shows at Bowery Ballroom, Pianos, Santos Party House, and 92Y Tribeca this week (details here.)

You can stream her recent Ghost EP here to get a taste of the multifaceted Ferreira’s sound, from the introspective torch-singer sincerity of “Sad Dream”, to the tear drop slide guitar country of “Ghost” to the retro-filtered synth pop of “Everything Is Embarrassing”, which, again, I should probably point out, I am going to go watch five times in a row now just to make sure it’s as good as I think it is.
