WOOZE share new single “Mighty Cloud”

Today, inimitable London-duo WOOZE have shared a new single titled “Mighty Cloud”. The new release comes on the heels of the band’s return with the announcement of their much-anticipated sophomore EP “Get Me To A Nunnery”, which will be released via London tastemaker-label Young Poet on 22nd October 2021.

The new single also follows the release of band’s recent tracks “Witch Slap (IOU)” and “Tu Es Moi”, which have seen their return lauded across press and radio with support from the likes BBC Radio 1 (Jack Saunders), KEXP, NME, DIY, Gigwise and more, as well as landing multiple Spotify playlist spots (including the cover of Melomania), racking up well over 150K streams.

A concise snapshot of the frenetic and hyperactive nature of the new EP, “Mighty Cloud” sees the band combine warped funk-meets-new wave guitar lines with eccentric 80’s inspired vocals and groove-driven cosmic psych. Much like the two singles before it, this new song shows a heavier, more texturally rich side to WOOZE, which sees them pushing the limits of what is already an intoxicatingly borderless sound. However, none of this comes at the expense of a good melody, “Mighty Cloud” still carries that signature wonky pop undercurrent that is imbued into everything the band do.

Speaking about the single, the band say: “The soul of the song came from Bergman’s ‘Fanny and Alexander’ and the tale that Uncle Isak tells about a young man travelling down an endless road. It’s an ode to dissatisfaction and inadequacy and the ways we, as people, seek to alleviate this. We wrote it over the course of a hot and steamy week in the summer in Theo’s bedroom in an attempt to alleviate our dissatisfaction and inadequacy, possibly coming from the fact we wilt in the heat.”
