Sheffield based AWOOGA have released their new single and video Temporal, which is taken from their debut full-length, Conduit, set for release on 20th April via Rockosmos.
“We tried to condense everything that AWOOGA loves into one song and video. Joe Pesci’s vile character in Moonwalker starring Michael Jackson, Egyptians and mysterious pyramid shit. And North Korean military rallies – Existence is imperative and short, and yet somehow eternal at the same time. We tried to petrify that into 4 minutes of electricity.” – Tam Ali (Bass / Vocals)
The bands follow on from their 2016 debut is a vast soundscape that fills nearly every wave-length, touches on every emotion. The band have taken inspiration from Frank Zappa, Alice in Chains and Tool, they also give a nod to Miles Davis, who was a champion of musical diversity and some of the world’s greatest artists. Transition, change and progression are all fundamental themes of Conduit, and the recording process was very much a direct expression via the individual members’ performances.
“In the exchange between the brain and the mind is the liminal place. This is where we reside. Brutality and Tranquillity. – All pass through the Conduit. The process of writing this album was extremely visceral, and direct flow of energy channelled out of the world and into a studio in the Galician mountains.” – Tam Ali (Bass / Vocals)
