Watch Womb's Video For New Single 'Oceans'

A dream-pop swirl of gently rippling guitar, emotive yearning vocals, cascading rhythms and bright synth splashes, 'Oceans' is the first official single from the Pōneke sibling trio of Cello Forrester (Crush), Haz Forrester and Georgette Brown aka Womb's forthcoming new Flying Nun album Dreaming of the Future Again. Drawing inspiration from t.A.T.u.'s classic video for 'All The Things She Said', director Martin Sagadin paid homage to the Russian pop duo's famously drenched kissing in the rain visuals using a DIY spiralling hose / clothesline system to gobsmackingly beautiful effect. Emotionally vast and disarmingly intimate, experience 'Oceans' made with support from NZ On Air, and look forward to Womb's sophomore long player launching on 11th November...

“The shape of the spiral is at the heart of the ‘Oceans’ video. The thing about spirals is that they move in any direction, spiralling out, spiralling in, which is essentially what ‘Oceans’ is about: moving between feeling far from and close to someone. At the start, we watch the lovers un-spiralling from one another; by the end they turn toward each other, literally standing under the spiral-shaped rain machine.

The ocean is one of the oldest things on the planet. More than half the human body is composed of water. We picture this song as a wave rising and then falling, all the tension smoothed over. Following this imagery, the instrumentation of this song emulates the rhythm of tides; layered and overlapping guitars and synths, with Georgette’s drums at the heart of this song; a constant presence mirroring the repetition of a tide.” — Womb
