Jessy & The Volunteers’ debut video Phone Face has been released today. Relevant to the youth of today – assisted by dance and comedy, Phone Face is the story of the world being taken over by technology. It features tight musical arrangements and careful production which amplify this Kiwi soul singer’s original tune.

Written and produced by Jessy Wadeson and Nathan Judd recorded at Rageous Records. Music video directed by Nathan Judd, filmed by Aaron Wakley and Nathan Judd, edited by Jacob van Pelt.

Pre-release video link available from 3pm today!

BIO:

After spending several years abroad, Jessy moved back to New Zealand in search of her country’s support. With the intention of building a band as a foundation, Jessy moved to Auckland and fortuitously, into a home with a basement. In the past two years, she’s meticulously built her band from her basement – The Volunteers – and emanating from that basement are the sounds of their future; a sexy, bluesy meld of funk, rock, and soul.

They’ve been filling up shows and spending hours in the studio recording with Nathan Judd (Hipstamatics founder) working on multiple songs as part of a larger genre fluid collection.
