Ian Sweet - Crush Crusher

In writing Crush Crusher, Jilian Medford committed herself to exploring her own issues with self-image, self-respect/worth, and the responsibility she has felt to others. Album opener ""Hiding"" was one of the first songs she wrote for the record while living in a frigid Brooklyn apartment during a winter break amidst her grueling tour schedule. In the song, Medford reflects on an interpersonal relationship that fell apart because of an inability to feel supreme comfort in sharing all the pieces of herself with someone. Nevertheless, a hopeful demeanor shines through on ""Hiding"" and in her writing across the album, with lyrics that embrace life's hurdles and make them feel a little less scary.
