Every song from Balu Brigada is something that you can nod your head along to, and you will quickly become familiar with the lyrics – Channel Mag
New Zealand alt-pop duo, Balu Brigada, return with their newest single, ‘How It Would End’; the first cut off of their upcoming EP, set to release later this year.
The single is a retrospective and unsympathetic look at an adolescent love affair that has since ceased to exist. Knowing that the relationship was doomed from the beginning, the duo dissects the relationship over a smooth, sultry and groovy beat.
The duo consists of brothers, Henry and Pierre Beasley, both of which are multi-instrumentalists, writers and producers. The pair began to create music at age 12, teaching themselves all the tricks of the trade, and only officially forming Balu Brigada when younger brother, Pierre, turned 18 and was old enough to play in bars.
“Before anyone else asks, the band name has its origins in the Jungle Book’s character Baloo – the ultimate chiller,” explains Henry Beasley, Balu Brigada
The single is released alongside a music video, created and produced by good friend of the duo, Riley Coughlin of Garbage Records. Set in a lawless world, the duo pose as investigators on a manhunt for a mystery person, following as they piece together the clues provided to them.
The single has already been added to a bunch of editorial playlist, including New Music Daily on Apple Music and Indie Arrivals on Spotify. The duo’s upcoming EP is set to drop later this year and while not much has been revealed, it’s set to be an impressive release as they’re fast becoming the ones to watch in the alternative pop and indie realm.
