Scottish rock outfit Vukovi announce their self-titled debut album, due for release this March 10th via LAB Records, with a full UK headline tour beginning March 10th at Glasgow's King Tuts. Frantic and explosive, the new music video for lead single and album opener 'La Di Da' erupts into a snake-infested frenzy in seconds. "I wanted the video for 'La Di Da' to be a representation of my subconscious", frontwoman Janie Shilstone says. "Almost like watching what a satanic, schizophrenic nightmare would look like."
"At first I was terrified and when David, the owner, turned up with this see-through box. I totally froze when I saw her, though David assured me that she'd never bit or tried to strangle anyone before! Her name was Honey, a 6ft Boa Constrictor, and after 20 mins of stroking her I finally plucked up the courage to hold her. I completely fell in love. She slithered down my left arm and rested her head on my hand, it was so therapeutic. There was one shot where I lay down and got her to slither along my body and she beautifully went behind my ear and then up towards the camera." Watch 'La Di Da' on YouTube - https://youtu.be/lXPM8nXR3Z8 Partly inspired by the Joker and Harley Quinn (from Batman) relationship Janine was obsessed with as a comic book loving teen, "the song portrays an abusive relationship unbeknown to the victim," says the singer. "There are a lot of emotions throughout the song. There's vulnerability, and there's resistance. It took time to come together, and it had to live on the back burner for a while. But one night I gave in to the niggling that kept demanding I go back to it. I remember the moment it came together; me and Hamish (Reilly, guitars) in my flat drinking pretentious cocktails, laptop, tiny amp, guitar..." Incessantly giddy, intoxicatingly catchy; the end result more than rewards the toil.Pre-order VUKOVI's self-titled debut album via LAB Records here - https://vukovi.tmstor.es/.
