Nice Biscuit share new single/video "Love That Takes You Up" from new album 'SOS' due Oct 4th via Bad Vibrations.
Following the success of their recent singles, "Fade Away", "The Star" and "Rain", Brisbane/Meanjin psych rockers Nice Biscuit are ready to share the final single "Love That Takes You Up" from their forthcoming sophomore album, SOS — out October 4th via Bad Vibrations.
Easily the most positive, uplifting and dancey track from Nice Biscuit’s upcoming album, "Love That Takes You Up" is all about “blissing out in all the love that surrounds us in this world.” This feeling is evoked beautifully through the song’s disco-groove bassline, jangly jazz guitars, arpeggiated synthesisers, and rich and ethereal vocal harmonies of Billie Star and Grace Cuell.
Listening to the song, it brings out pure optimism and eliminates our worries about the state of the world; thanks to the power of love.
"Love That Takes You Up" is about stopping to notice that love and kindness is everywhere — in the sky, in the earth, within our bodies — imagining this love as a tangible force that can guide and shape us. It’s also about loving your friends and helping each other in the face of hard times. The band explains their vision;
“we imagine love as a tangible being that is flying around and guiding us.”
Like the rest of the new record SOS, "Love That Takes You Up" was written and recorded at Swan Pond Studios in the hills of South East Queensland. It started as a jam when the band members were mucking around, before Kurt Melvin came up with the pulsating bass line and Jesse Cavendish (guitarist) started singing the vocal hook; “it’s the love that takes you up.”
The band was instantly excited as they said;
“it was an infectious melody and filled us with joy. When Grace and Billie came up with the harmony, we all couldn’t stop smiling and playing it over and over.”
"Love That Takes You Up" comes with yet another stunning and cinematic music video, this time directed by Dom Sullivan and Nice Biscuit’s very own Grace Cuell, with visual effects by Dougal Morrison. Filmed in one jam-packed day across many picturesque natural locations in Bundjalung country, the video evokes the feeling of love being all around and guiding us.
With frontwomen Billie and Grace symbolising giant halves of one heart (crafted by Billie’s mum), the two lost souls carry around their half of a broken heart searching for something unknown.
Through exploring sand dunes, rugged cliffs and calm creeks they finally find each other and the two halves fit together perfectly, like magic. Billie explains;
