Voodoo Bloo drop psychadelic lyric video for single 'Default'

The album can be pre-saved/pre-ordered here. The track was highlighted on the AFL Friday Night Football broadcast on 7Mate around Australia!

Hysteria Mag recently spoke to the band, introducing them thus: "...our new favourite is Voodoo Bloo, the alt-rock fireball just about ready to drop their second album, The Blessed Ghost." Kill Your Stereo said that their forthcoming record "...has JUST the right amount of big commercial rock shine, along with the melancholy, talent and dark edge of that 'first record' from a band who is about to be critically and commercially lauded and rocketed into the atmosphere."

Rory McDonald, frontman for the band, says that Default "...is about a one-shot attempt to make good friends with the person I created, to make amends with who I’ve been and what I’ve done. In some ways it worked, but it also allowed me to fully look at some areas of the person I was becoming and set boundaries as to what lines I couldn’t cross anymore,"

"It was one of the first songs written for the album and it was the first of many letters I wrote to myself about how much I'd fallen out of love with who I am, but that there was a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of self-improvement. It's not a song talking about hating one's self, 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," says Rory.

Both tracks were recorded at Massey University. The studio there was designed by the same people that revamped Abbey Road Studios in London.

With the singles released thus far offering a taste of what’s to come, THE BLESSED GHOST album is set to delve deeply into and explore the range of the band’s music repertoire, with each track showing a different side to the band.

The boys from New Zealand will be on Aussie ground in August 2022 with Sydney legends RADICALS to form a two-prong AU/NZ tour across August, through September and up to the 1st October. The tour takes in Central Coast, 2 dates in Sydney & Wollongong on the Aussie side of the ditch and then heads over the pond to New Zealand to take in Wellington, Dunedin and Christchurch.
