KOJ release new music video for ‘Pamela’

KOJ have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Pamela, is taken from the German dark indie prog three-piece’s upcoming debut album Home, which will now be released in August this year, via Long Branch Records.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, Pamela is named, yet again, after a famous actress. What started out as an inside joke actually made a lot of sense when looking at the theme of the song and so Pamela was born. The way in which society portrayed, or to this date portrays, women in TV and film or in society in general was and still is at times highly sexualised and objectifying. Women are supposed to be pretty, desirable or of a certain body type. We all play many different roles in our lives. We pretend to be someone, that we really aren’t or don’t want to be anymore. The song wants to encourage each and every one of us to be braver in showing ourselves in a way that feels authentic to us, even if it’s not what others expect of us.

Songwriting for Pamela was initiated by listening to old jam material on our hard drive together with our producer and engineer Beray Habip. We got hooked on a synth harmonisation on one of the jams and made this the foundation of Pamela.”

Home is set for release on August 21st via Long Branch Records.
