Music News - New Single and New Direction for Voodoo Bloo

New Single and New Direction for Voodoo Bloo

05 November 2021 - 0 Comments

Voodoo Bloo introduce their next single Skin, from their forthcoming album. With a mysterious yet groovy tone, the new single proves there is more to this band than the Punk Rock driven debut album - Jacobus. Their new music comes to rock fans with urgency and excitement, and great energy powering it throughout.

Skin has a real attitude about it that literally ‘gets under your skin’, channeling influences from artists such as King Crimson, King Gizzard & Radiohead. The tempo changes and variations throughout the song are complex but remain catchy, leaving listeners with a small slice of the upcoming album.

Recorded at Massey University with Producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers / Super Furry Animals / Bullet for My Valentine) & Engineer Scott Seabright (Alien Weaponry / Mumford & Sons / Six60) "Skin is about ripping out of your teenage years and facing yourself in the mirror in a cruel, yet reflective look at what you love and hate about your life, and how change can be harsh to all but ultimately leaves you a better and changed person" – Rory from Voodoo Bloo.

For front man Rory McDonald (born in the UK), music has been a large part of his life for many years. Forming hard rock group Lucifer Gunne in 2016 brought the 15 year old McDonald to wider attention in New Zealand. Voodoo Bloo then debuted Jacobus which had singles, well received in the UK, USA, Australia and NZ.

Moving into a new phase in 2021, Voodoo Bloo have written their new album and are in the process of recording it. “Greg and Scott have truly captured the essence of what this project is, and even though Jacobus was a cathartic experience for me to partake in, I think new album will be seen with a lot more of a personal feel and approach to the songwriting. This album may sound like a tale of maturity on paper, but it’s really more the personification and characterisation of who you want yourself to be, and how to step through the mirror to bigger and better things” – Rory from Voodoo Bloo.

There will be a further 3 singles from the upcoming album, scheduled for release early 2022.
