Written by Staff on 6 June 2022
New Zealand Alt-Rock band Voodoo Bloo release latest AB side single âWe’re Here, Love Is Somewhere Elseâ and âDefaultâ, taken from their upcoming album âThe Blessed Ghostâ, due for release on July 15.
The first single âWeâre Here, Love Is Somewhere Elseâ is a dreamy uplifting rock track. Speaking to how much space paranoia and social pressures take up in the mindâs hard drive and a simple reminder that no matter how far in a rut youâre stuck, youâre only a few progressive footsteps away from getting better. The video accompanying the single takes on a psychedelic theme. Frontman Rory Mcdonald explains further.
âThe trippy approach we have, I think it really helps people sink into the blissful hopelessness I’m trying to portray in the lyrics, it really shines through when I’m watching it at least.â
The Second single âDefaultâ is a heavier explosive track that doesnât let up as the listener navigates through energetic riffs, piercing lead lines and unpredictable drum beats creating a sense of organised chaos throughout the track. This chaotic nature is in line with the theme of the track depicting internal struggle as Rory explains.
âIt’s not a song talking about hating oneself, but more of the moment you come to your senses, the slap across the face that says to wake up and start taking your life seriously.â
Their latest offerings are a taste of whatâs to come, âThe Blessed Ghostâ album is set to really explore the range of the bandâs music repertoire, with each track showing a different side to the band. Having grown up in Sheffield (UK) before emigrating to NZ Rory takes influences from the thriving Sheffield music scene, blending influences from the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Bring Me The Horizon with the alternative scene in New Zealand.
