Me quiere mas
Me ama tanto
Los besos que da
Los quiero tanto
Chicago-based darkwave trio French Police has just unveiled a new music video from their album BULLY. The video is a visual accompaniment to their Spanish-language track “Crush,” which envelops listeners in a hauntingly evocative atmosphere tinged with longing and a touch of peril, reminiscent of the brooding sounds of Molchat Doma, KINO, and Lebanon Hanover.
Brian Flores’s voice is thick with need, a smoky plea for a connection that cuts through the cold. They’re looking for something real, something to grip when the world slips sideways—a hand to hold, a promise whispered in the shadows. The repetition is a heartbeat; a steady drum of desire that refuses to relent.
The lyrics curl around you like a wisp of smoke in a shadowy bar, stirring up that old, familiar longing. It’s a plea for something real, a connection that digs deep, refusing to be brushed aside. There’s a rawness here, something that lingers like a bad habit, leaving you restless and wondering what could have been. The kind of desire that doesn’t just fade away but sticks with you, gnawing at the edges of your thoughts, whispering in the dark when you’re all alone.
The blue-hued video shows French Police playing live in a darkened, mysterious space that feels at once cavernous and claustrophobic. It is enigmatic, hazy, and showcases the band’s live energy.
Watch the video for “Crush” below:
Brian Flores performs on this album like a man taking a swing at the shadows lurking in his history. “This album is dedicated to the bullies of my past,” he declares, turning BULLY into a saga of strength and defiance. It’s a bold move, showcasing the band’s fearless grit, staring down their deepest fears and daring to wear shades in the darkest moments. The lyrics hit hard, pulling no punches, proving they’re not afraid to face the fire or fight the battles most would rather forget. For Flores, it’s a reckoning, a challenge, and a personal statement all at once.
