Santa Monica-based indie-pop duo Only Bricks released their new single and accompanying music video entitled “Smile, It’s Over :)”, marking vocalist Anne DiGiovanni‘s last day at her full-time job and legal career. Anne said:
‘Smile, It’s Over :)’ is our swan song for everyone who’s ever raged against corporate America. It was written to honor this transition of mine, to give voice to that inner celebration we all do, no matter how much we’ll miss the people or places or projects we inevitably say farewell to.
Guitarist Joseph Lewczak added:
This song was such a fun collaboration with our friends Kayleigh (Torok) and Clifton (Jennings). We wanted to flip the niceties of the standard work goodbye email on their head and say what everyone really wants to say but never does.
The music video is a vibrant collage of scenes featuring the duo, with Anne transforming into a mermaid who is living it up in a “pity pool” of her former co-workers’ platitudes, finally having found her own voice.
