Returning with another strong release for 2020, Wellington-based rock act Voodoo Bloo presents the chaotic new single, ‘Ha Ha Ok Ok’.
Cut from his forthcoming debut album JACOBUS, ‘Ha Ha Ok Ok’ continues to explore some frenetic punk rock territory, as listeners get the opportunity to get further acquainted with one of New Zealand’s urgent young voices.
‘Ha Ha Ok Ok’ exists as one of the oldest recordings that is featured on the Jacobus album, and one that still holds great weight and significance for Voodoo Bloo.
As the Jacobus album is an intensely personal one, the music the listener hears on it each has a specific collection of memories attached.
For ‘Ha Ha Ok Ok’, we hear a frenzied and angry narrator unleashing on records. As Voodoo Bloo describes of his music, the artform is a powerful tool and the way it is channeled on this project amps it up to 11.
Musically, Voodoo Bloo’s work takes in inspiration from across a wide range of sounds; from more indie stylings like Neutral Milk Hotel and Car Seat Headrest, to the harder sounds of System Of A Down and Marilyn Manson, the foundation of sounds Jacobus has been built upon is a strong one.
