VELIKA VELIKA's latest single, "COMING.GOING.," melds sultry blues with gritty rock, capturing the allure and awkwardness of the deluded ego.
VELIKA VELIKA, the solo project of the multi-talented Benjamin Davies, introduces "COMING.GOING.," a track that's as confounding as it is compelling. Released on January 10, 2024, the single blends the soul of blues with the raw energy of rock n' roll, creating an anthem that's both seductive and awkwardly charming.
Recorded between the intimacy of a home studio and the dynamic space of Nottingham's JT SOAR, "COMING.GOING." is a testament to Davies's versatility. The song features an intricate layering of acoustic guitars, distorted bass amps, and live drums that reverberate off the studio walls, crafting a sound that's nostalgically raw yet distinctly modern.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of The Paranoyds, Metric, and The Damned, the track resonates with the driving fuzziness and intense chorus reminiscent of these iconic bands. Yet, at its core, "COMING.GOING." is uniquely VELIKA VELIKA – a narrative about the deluded ego, exploring the dichotomy between perceived allure and underlying awkwardness.
Listeners will be intrigued by the track's unorthodox elements, like the pool cue shot in the background and a whimsical dog sample from a Casio keyboard, which add a layer of quirky charm to the composition. As Benjamin Davies puts it, the song captures the essence of feeling "kind of sexy but also stupidly awkward," akin to a reversed sentiment of The Kinks' "You Really Got Me."
"COMING.GOING." is a declaration of VELIKA VELIKA's unique identity in the music world, promising a sonic adventure that's both nostalgic and refreshingly original. As the first release of the year, it sets a high bar for the band's upcoming projects, beckoning listeners to embrace the multifaceted nature of rock and the complexities of the human ego.
