To celebrate the release of their sophomore album The New King today,
Auckland band Carnivorous
Plant Society share the second single from the album, Don't Go Outside. Listen here.
"‘Don't Go Outside’ was written after I watched the
documentary 'The Wolf Pack'. In this film, a controlling father won’t allow his
children out of the house despite their numerous attempts at escape," says Finn Scholes.
"We are very fortunate to have Don McGlashan sing the part of
the father and Tiny Ruins, along with Cass Mitchell and Siobhanne Thompson,
sing the part of the trapped children."
"I have known Don for
many years because we both play brass instruments, and brass players are all in
a kind of club where we help each other out. We stick together to overcome the
many obstacles of brass playing."
Carnivorous Plant Society is a project by five of Auckland's
busiest musicians performing a genre they describe as 'Mexican
fantasy music'. Formerly a strictly instrumental group, they welcome an
extraordinary roster of guests for The
New King. Read the full album
announcement and credits here.
