Wellington based hard rock cruisers Voodoo Bloo are as fun in their aesthetic as they are in sound. With a video that’s psychedelic and wacky on all fronts, they bring ‘Skin’ to life through a madness and a keenly progressive approach to the soundscape. Departing from their punk approach to a sound that sees more progressive and atmospheric elements while still retaining the dreary and heavy approach that defines them, they create a uniquely modern yet traditionally inspired piece of hard rock. Conceptually, Skin is a fairly dark track that is really about progress and change at its core.
It’s about ripping out of your teenage years and facing yourself in the mirror in a cruel, yet reflective look at who you are today. All that you hate, all that you love, everything is viewed in totality to understand where you are. But Skin is also about forcing change, about tearing away from the inertia of yesterday and understanding that no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be, change is progress, and beneficial.
