The video features Chura in a cheerleader uniform, playing her guitar in a school gym. \u201cDreaming of\/Being nice\/I projected you on a screen,\u201d she sings against the song\u2019s opening riff. She sinks into the chorus, repeating over and over, \u201cIf only you could hear me scream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Chura, \u201cScream\u201d is \u201cpartly about the loneliness of social media. How being popular online doesn\u2019t equate to feeling whole in your real life, projecting a persona of an ideal \u2018you\u2019 online.\u201d Chura also adds that it was written from the perspective of someone else.&nbsp;\u201cIt\u2019s about the dual self: a person who thinks of themselves in one way vs. how they actually are and treat others, which is totally unlike how they view themselves,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cA blind spot, because how they treat others is a reflection of their loneliness and anger. It can leave them acting nasty, mean and like a bully to the people in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carseat Headrest\u2019s Will Toledo, who produced <em>Midnight<\/em>, also plays bass on the track. Chura will spend the summer touring in support of the album, making a stop at Rough Trade in Brooklyn on July 12th and wrapping up at Milwaukee\u2019s Backroom at Colectivo on August 10th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stef Chura Tour Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7\/19-7\/23 \u2014 Calgary, AB @ Sled Island<br \/>7\/5 \u2014 Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle<br \/>7\/6 \u2014 Detroit, MI @ Deluxx Fluxx<br \/>7\/7 \u2014 Toronto, ON @ The Drake<br \/>7\/8 \u2014 Montreal, QC @ Casa del Popolo<br \/>7\/9 \u2014 Boston, MA @ Great Scott<br \/>7\/12 \u2014 Brooklyn, NY @ Rough Trade<br \/>7\/13 \u2014 Philadelphia, PA @ PhilaMOCA<br \/>7\/15 \u2014 Washington, DC @ Comet Ping Pong<br \/>7\/16 \u2014 Durham, NC @ The Pinhook<br \/>7\/17 \u2014 Atlanta, GA @ The Earl<br \/>7\/19 \u2014 New Orleans, LA @ Gasa Gasa<br \/>7\/20 \u2014 Houston, TX @ The Satellite<br \/>7\/21 \u2014 Austin, TX @ The Mohawk<br \/>7\/22 \u2014 Dallas, TX @ Club Dada<br \/>7\/25 \u2014 Phoenix, AZ @ Valley Bar<br \/>7\/26 \u2014 San Diego, CA @ Sodabar<br \/>7\/27 \u2014 Los Angeles, CA @ Bootleg Theatre<br \/>7\/28 \u2014 San Francisco, CA @ Cafe du Nord<br \/>7\/30 \u2014 Portland, OR @ Mississippi Studios<br \/>7\/31 \u2014 Seattle, WA @ Barboza<br \/>8\/1 \u2014 Vancouver, BC @ Biltmore Cabaret<br \/>8\/2 \u2014 Spokane, WA @ Lucky You Lounge<br \/>8\/3 \u2014 Boise, ID @ Neurolux<br \/>8\/5 \u2014 Salt Lake City, UT @ Kilby Court<br \/>8\/6 \u2014 Denver, CO @ Larimer Lounge<br \/>8\/7 \u2014 Omaha, NE @ Reverb<br \/>8\/9 \u2014 Minneapolis, MN @ 7th Street Entry<br \/>8\/10 \u2014 Milwaukee, WI @ Backroom at Colectivo<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/stef-chura-scream-video-844852\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detroit indie rocker Stef Chura has released the fourth and final single to her sophomore album Midnight, which will be released this Friday.
