Wovoka Gentle have announced their debut album.
After releasing previous singles 1000 Opera Singers Working At Starbucks and Peculiar Form Of Sleep last year, 'Start Clanging Cymbals' is due on June 7. Its next cut, Sin Is Crouching At Your Door, is a brooding piece of psychedelic pop, whose fuzzy guitar lines wouldn’t be out of place in a contemporary Western movie. The band said:
"It could maybe be seen as the soundtrack to a sense of dread, a sense of being out of control. Tuning all the strings of your guitar to D and thrashing as hard as you can to try and regain the feeling that things can make sense. You then look within yourself, though, only to find desolation and destruction disguised as creativity; the metropolis has been bombed by individuals, and the only escape hatch down below leads to the middle of the waste land. Hopefully you don’t end up where you began."
The track’s accompanying video was directed by Lies Scheps, who added:
"Working on this video with Wovoka Gentle, it was the song's build up of energy that immediately drew me towards it. As we all loved the idea of working with a dancer to emphasise this energy, we brought in choreographer Franka Marlene Foth to work with us. The band and I share a love for colour, so we turned the video into a playful outburst of colour and movement."
The band will play a London headline show in March at Omeara, ahead of supporting Malena Zavala on tour around the UK and Europe. They’ll return to the capital again this summer to launch 'Start Clanging Cymbals' at Corsica Studios on June 5. Tickets are on sale now.
Wovoka Gentle Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Mon March 25 2019 - LONDON Omeara
Wed June 05 2019 - LONDON Corsica Studios
