- Emily Garner
Balu Brigada have released a new single and video, What Do We Ever Really Know?.
The rising New Zealand duo describe the track as “an existential crisis, peppered with a euphoric appreciation of the present”.
“Feeling the weight of existence and all the intensities that come with ambition, but finding the sweet spot that lets you release all the tension and live in the reality that no-one knows anything,” they explain, “and we’re all just idiots on a spinning rock, doing our bestest.”
Hear, hear!
What Do We Ever Really Know? is taken from Balu’s debut album Portal, which is due out on August 29. Watch the video below:
