Womb’s new single 'The Dove' is the second track from the three piece’s forthcoming album Dreaming of the Future Again, out November 11 via Flying Nun Records.
To accompany this heart-wrenching new single, is a beautiful self-directed video. Dedicated to Georgette Brown’s (drums) late father, Justin Brown, and made with the support of New Zealand on Air the trio have created a visual accompaniment that feels a lot more personal than your typical music video.
“The Dove is a song for grief. We think of the dove, or any bird really, as a messenger between this world and another, being a winged creature that can fly between the earth and sky. Something about this song feels urgent: it was written and recorded in the week of Georgette’s father’s passing and: it came out fully formed. At the same time, The Dove is about trying to find vibrancy; feeling the wind, and feeling the way in which the wind is always something living.”
Womb is made up of twin siblings Cello Forrester (vocals, guitar, strings), Haz Forrester (synth, guitar), and Georgette Brown (drums). Their music builds on the shoegaze and dream pop sounds they are inspired by.
Dreaming of the Future Again is Womb’s sophomore album, recorded between 2020 and 2022. Lyrically, the songs trace moments across the two years recording the album, drawing on a repeated lexicon for Cello: of light and refraction; butterflies; birds; and dreaming. Each song is both personal and allegorical, and looks at connection and the things we are tethered to.
Dreaming of the Future Again is out digitally and on 180g black vinyl on November 11th, 2022 via Flying Nun Records.
