Vukovi release new song ‘I EXIST’

VUKOVI have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled I EXIST, is taken from the Scottish two-piece’s upcoming new album NULA, which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The upcoming album intends to be a concept record which charts the journey of this character (called Nula) in a distant, far off, Sci-fi world. “Growing up I was obsessed with the likes of Akira, Batman: The Animated Series, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, the Alien franchise, Star Wars, all massive influences of mine,” says vocalist Janine Shilstone. The whole record starts with an announcement of interplanetary travel. Nula (the character) is a captured extra-terrestrial that’s now the property of a nefarious capitalist. The album picks up 25 years after her capture. And in-between there’s all sorts of comment on themes of trauma, violence, lust, and revenge. “I think about what’s happening in the world too much,” says Janine. “The way the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The greed. The cruelty. There’s a lot of that on the record, and in Nula’s story.”
