Reviews and Comments
Australian force RVG have shared their brilliant new single ‘Midnight Sun’.
The band will release new album ‘Brain Worms’ on June 2nd through Fire Recordings, and it cements their relationship with the UK. Darting between hemispheres, the project was laid down at Snap Studios in London, with James Trevascus on the controls, it blends their indie pop tendencies with ragged, post-punk aspects.
Forever raw and forever vital, RVG recall seminal indie group McCarthy in their distillation of chiming guitars and societal polemic. Just take new song ‘Midnight Sun’ – penned in the aftermath of the disastrous Australian bush fires, it carries a venomous sense of outrage at where the world is heading.
Tuning into a highly localised problem, RVG cast their sights outwards, and ask: aren’t we better than this?
A pulsating return, it comes equipped with a stellar, eye-catching video. The band’s Romy Vager comments…
I wrote this around the time of the Australian bushfires in 2019 when it felt like everything precious about this country was being destroyed by climate change.
There were all these talking heads trying to play down how much of a disaster it was, instead focusing on how much they hate immigrants or queer people. I thought – the world is literally on fucking fire and this is what you choose to use your platform on?
The song is contrasting these two things, and how sick we are ideologically that we can’t identify what real problems are.
