New Kid Koala single “Things Are Gonna Change (feat Lealani)”
NEW SINGLE THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE (feat LEALANI)
The third EP (in a series of 4) is available for purchase today (February 09 2023), along with the third single “Things Are Gonna Change (feat. Lealani)” from upcoming the album, Creatures of the Late Afternoon. The socially conscious party anthem is accompanied by a music video using stop-motion graphics of exploding vinyl records and studio circuitry brought to life by Montreal production company See Creature. The nearly two-minute song is a hyper-vivid blend of quintessential Koala-esque elements, from the textural scratch of needle-on-vinyl, to the buzz of electrified instruments, all filtered through San’s prismatic imagination. Video directors/animators Dale Hayward and Sylvie Trouvé and animator Claire Brognez of See Creature, brought out the true grain of “Things Are Gonna Change,” expertly blending Lealani’s shouts-to-action in a rousing yet playful way.
LISTEN TO “THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE (feat LEALANI)”
“This song is a distorted turntable jump up punk track featuring the inimitable Lealani on vocals. I recorded the drums, bass and guitars, cut them to vinyl using my record lathe, and then reassembled the track by scratching all the parts together with the turntables plugged into stacks of tube amplifiers,” Koala says. “I had already written the lyrics but was searching for someone who could perform the vocals and cut through the mix. I was introduced to Lealani’s work through a mutual friend. Right away, I knew she had the perfect voice and energy for the track. I was able to get to LA to record with her and she slayed it!”
