Who knew, the hoodoo that Voodoo Bloo do', be rockin' you? The Wellington, NZ act dropped a new burner on Friday just gone and it's well worth your time if you are about bands like Kings of Leon, Turnstile, Citizen and IDKHOW. They will also be dropping their album 'The Blessed Ghost' on July 15.
Do you know Voodoo Bloo? Straigth Outta Wellington, NZ, Voodoo Bloo dropped their exciting new single, ‘Small’, on Friday last week. It follows on from the 2021-released single, ‘Skin’, with both tracks featuring on the upcoming sophomore Voodoo Bloo album, THE BLESSED GHOST out July 15.
“‘Small’ is a song about the “Peter Pan complex”, knowing you have to grow up no matter how hard the change may be. In a way it was written not only to a younger self but also my mother, about my growth into a person, but the distance it's made from memories long gone,” says Rory McDonald, frontman for Voodoo Bloo.
“Recording at Massey Studios with Greg Haver and Scott Seabright will be a time that I will forever cherish. I believe the final product of how this song came out really rips out the emotions behind the track in a soaring soundscape that will be fresh to specific sound expectations of fans of our band,” continues McDonald.
The announcement of the new 12-track album, THE BLESSED GHOST, welcomes a new frontier for Voodoo Bloo, as well as a new line-up consisting of Rory McDonald as lead singer and guitar, Daniel Maslen on guitar, Oli Cass on bass and Jackson Kidd on drums.
THE BLESSED GHOST follows on from the success of Voodoo Bloo’s debut album JACOBUS, received well across New Zealand, Australia, the UK and the US. The band also played multiple charity shows for Lifeline Aotearoa (an organisation focused on suicide prevention and mental health treatment), and also released a music video for their single ‘Ha Ha Ok OK’.
