[**Small Shake**](https://new.glamglare.com/artist/small-shake?ref=glamglare.com) is the musical project of Seattle-born, L.A.-based artist **Aarin Wright**. Her new single *“*Veruca*”* brims with playful sonic textures — even the *kling* of a typewriter makes its way in (which, to me, first sounded like a microwave). But beneath the quirky details lies something deeper: the story of a friendship that’s gone, yet might still be revived one day.

Aarin’s emotive vocals hold it all together, and she shares:

> “*Funny enough, I wrote ‘Veruca’ when I was desperate to share a particularly juicy piece of music industry gossip. I knew my former confidant, my former friend, would revel in the story. I felt her absence stronger than ever, but had to laugh at the circumstances that had me so worked up. I conjured a future where we would be connected again, and could fill in the gaps of all we’d missed.*”

The single arrives with a beautiful video, filmed and directed by **Mia Gualtieri**, who explains:

> *"One of my great fears was looking into the abyss of deep water, but a recent dive trip with friends allowed me to face it head on. After a couple dives and seeing the bright orange Garibaldi fish, my lifelong phobia started to dissipate. I wanted to visually sum up my experience of facing the 'dark menacing water,' and 'Veruca' felt like a very serendipitous way to do so.*"

“Veruca” is taken from Small Shake’s debut EP [*Platonics*](https://new.glamglare.com/album/small-shake-platonics?ref=glamglare.com)*,* out this Friday. Listen to it now, today's Song Pick of the Day:
