Asbury Park faves Sonic Blume are on a tear dropping two videos in as many months and heading out on a summer tour in support of their 2021 full-length debut LP, “We’re Drifting Further Apart, Aren’t We.”

The most recent clip is for “Lucy,” which is the Makin Waves Song of the Week. 

 As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Lucy” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on June 24 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. If you miss it, you also can tune in any time at The Penguin or MixCloud.

The video was directed by the great Asbury Park auteur Anthony Yebra (Blaise, Joe P., Deal Casino, Airacuda), who also helmed the recent clip for the “Drifting” track “Happy.”
