KennyHoopla has released a new single called NORTHERN LIGHTS//.
The shoegazey track serves up a more experimental sound from the Wisconsin-raised artist, and follows last year's self-penned and self-produced single, ONE TULIP//, his first release as an independent artist. Speaking about the new song, he said:
"I made this song in my basement with my friend. I think it sounds like that, this song went through a lot of phases but I think it ended up back in its rawest form. I was listening to so much '90s shoegaze and post rock bands around this time. I think this is probably a tribute to Sonic Youth and Ride for saving my life, which is what I think this song wanted and needed. No shiny shit or production, just a journey.
"At this point in my life since losing my mom and becoming an independent artist, I’ve somewhat lost a compass. I’ve become so free that I’ve gotten lost which is a blessing and curse, this is what I called ‘outer heaven.’ This song touches on doing what you can with what you have and not taking the path that has already been engraved. We can feel we’re on the right path but in actuality we’re all going toward the same brick wall, some people just happen to have a sunset on their journey to it."
Co-produced by Kenny and Cole Lato, the track ushers in a new chapter for the singer-songwriter and musician, as he prepares his debut album as an independent artist. Head below to view the accompanying video, directed by Godsavethequeenbee.
