Party Nails is a singer-songwriter and producer who strikes a unique nerve of noir-electropop on her latest single “Trigger Warning“. The lyrics grapple with the complex emotions that surface while processing an abusive relationship from her past. “Trigger Warning” is about reconnecting with your inner-strength and trusting your intuition in the face of danger.
Glowing with effervescent synths, sparkling electronics, and ruminative vocals, “Trigger Warning” immerses you in its dark undercurrent from the moment you press play. She sings, “You’re gonna keep on rising / with the morning sun.” The music video for “Trigger Warning” was directed by Elinor Howells and blends together surreal landscapes with intimate vignettes of Party Nails returning to herself after a long journey. The single is an empowering, introspective reverie on the power we possess within ourselves.
Revealing more on the music video for the single, Party Nails admits, “‘Trigger Warning’ is a song that encapsulates isolation and moving out of isolation, so we wanted to have the damsel character move from a chaotic state of running and fear and confusion, to one of beauty, connection and joy. With Quinn Thomashow as DP and Estrello Lo on mixed media and editing, Elinor masterfully infused the gritty street art of eastern Los Angeles with Estrella’s dreamy flowers and textures to create a dream-like world. Our damsel is rescued by my real-life friends, Fake Dad (check out their music!), queer angels who bring her to a nightclub in Heaven. Together they dance, surrounded by love and freedom of expression.”
Party Nails got her start playing open mics and showcases near her hometown in Chatham, New York. She’s now based in Los Angeles where she creates music out of a recording studio called Top Coat. “Trigger Warning” is her latest release.
