Eliza Niemi joins Tin Angel and shares “Sushi California”

Eliza on Sushi California:

It tells the story of two people spending the day together, each on completely different wavelengths. One is sadly thinking about their father aging, while the other is drunk on romance. It’s about how the exact same interaction can feel completely different to someone depending on how they happen to project onto it. The first half of the song is playful (if not a bit delusional) as the protagonist projects affection and understanding onto their companion after a brief exchange. The second half is pessimistic as the protagonist recounts the same exchange later in a different setting making them feel the complete opposite. There's such an element of performance to human interaction, especially in romance, and I wanted to expose the absurdity / tragedy / comedy of that in “Sushi California,” especially with the music video. I am alone, in my own world, goofily performing for no one -- much like the song's protagonist.
