Music News - Boy Virgo and Old Pup drop new single 'Blood and Guts'
18 February 2022 - 0 Comments
New Zealand based hyperpop and alt-pop artist Boy Virgo and British alternative pop producer Old Pup have come together to create the lead single off an upcoming collaboration EP, Blood and Guts. The song’s beautiful baritone vocals, bombastic distorted bass lines and aggressive tone create a sound that is cranked up to 11’. The track is littered with nods to noise and experimental pop artists such as 100 gecs, UMRU and Sophie and hopes to set the tone for what is awaiting on the new EP.
Boy Virgo is fresh off the release of his latest track Lipgloss and is now looking to carve his way into the competitive hyperop space by creating a sound that can’t help to grab the attention of listeners. While Old Pup has been working and releasing tracks with some of the hottest up and coming artists in the alternative pop space such as his most recent collaboration with Apollo Monroe on Cybercrush with upcoming projects working with Holliday Howe amongst others. This pairing is sure to turn heads when their single releases on February 18th.
Both huge fans of the rapidly growing ‘PC Music’ and hyperpop scene, the pair met online during COVID, bonding over their love and appreciation for female/non binary pop artists like Lady Gaga, Charli XCX and Lorde and are hoping to blend their influences and backgrounds create unapologetic and exciting new sound for Boy Virgo.
Virgo describes Blood and Guts as his ‘Villain era’. He states “I’ve always been scared to be vulnerable, never writing about serious themes but I really wanted to change that with this song. It’s powerful, I’m angry, it’s a song filled with angst and drive. It’s almost a speech. It demands to be heard”. He actually wrote this song in one night after dealing with a ex romantic partner. He states “I had so much anger and frustration, when me and old pup were exploring instrumentals and he sent me this one, I knew it was the one. I wrote a full song so fast and belted it out so fast. It all felt so right. It was like a release of frustration mixed with my love for pop. It was therapeutic.”
