Vukovi announce new album ‘Fall Better’

VUKOVI have announced a new album!

Titled Fall Better, the upcoming album from the band follows 2017’s self-titled debut and is scheduled to be released in January next year!

Produced by Bruce Rintoul – in whose spare bedroom vocalist Janine Shilstone recorded some of her vocals – Fall Better provides a master class in powerful, melodic songwriting penned to a rock beat from which every trace of fat has been removed.

“What we learned from the first album was how to structure songs better,” says guitarist Hamish Reilly. “But from playing the songs live we really learned what works in concert. So, when it came to making ‘Fall Better’ our main thought was, ‘Will these songs work live?’ And they will, every one of them. It’s our intention that we could play every song from this album live. That was the main goal that we tried to achieve. Our music is heavy, but we try to keep it melodic as well. There’s not a lot of atonal stuff on our record. I guess I’d call what we do melodic heavy pop-rock. There are no extended sections and there’s not really any instrumental stuff. It’s just solid three-minute songs for most of the album, and that’s what we wanted man. We just wanted a good batch of songs.”

“I want our songs to let people know that they’re not alone in feeling crazy,” vocalist Janine Shilstone says. “I want to give people who feel that way a little bit of comfort. I want them to feel less alone. I want to let people know that it’s okay to be weird, and for them not to feel isolated because of it. Our fan base is a beautiful army of weirdos, and I want that to grow. I want them all to feel like they belong here. And I want to be a rock star!”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, VUKOVI have released a new music video for new single All That Candy. Speaking of the new song, Janine adds, “when writing All That Candy I was going through a really angry stage towards my OCD. Angry because I physically wanted to hurt this thing which I couldn’t, so talking back and standing up for myself seemed the next best thing. I think our songwriting has come on so much since our debut album, but our mental health has got worse. This album is our therapy and we hope it’s going to help a lot of people as well.”
