MILLY Debuts Video for "Star Thistle Blossom" feat. Ketchup Jesus

Via Dangerbird Records

Ketchup Jesus debuts as a shoegaze star in MILLY's latest music video for their song Star Thistle Blossom (Dangerbird Records)

MILLY is a four-piece shoegaze band from Los Angeles. Their slow and fuzzy sound, balanced with vocals, are led by singer/guitarist/songwriter Brendan Dyer, with Spencer Light on guitar, Yarden Erez on bass, and Zach Capitti Fenton on drums. For fans of Spencer Radcliffe, Slowdive, and Sparklehorse, MILLY is the kind of music you listen to when you're reminiscing about the summertime and missing your friends. 

In their video for Star Thistle Blossom (directed by Justice Vaughn Ott), we follow the journey of a white t-shirt that gains stardom via an accidental Jesus-shaped ketchup stain. 

On the origins of the song, Dyer says, "I wrote it back in 2017 when I was working at Whole Foods. I was stocking honey on the shelf and was intrigued by Star Thistle Blossom honey. There's a lot of health superpowers in honey, and I like the theme of tying in being healthy with feeling strong mentally. The chorus is an acknowledgment to understanding loss but having hope in something and that it always gets better. Even if that's not true, it still feels helpful."
