Grecco Romank - Wet Exit by Grecco Romank published on 2023-02-14T01:12:54Z Billie Fee (she/her), Mikey Sperring (he/him - Drab Doo Riffs, Bib Kids) and Damian Golfinopoulos (he/him, Stress Cadet) are the members of Grecco Romank, a Tāmaki Makaurau based trio who make electronic music perfectly suited for a European Dungeon Rave. Since 2020 the band have been releasing luxuriously bogan techno tracks inspired by microgenres like Industrial and Eurodance. Their debut album Red Tower was a critical success in Aotearoa’s underground circles and was accompanied by a perfume entitled Leathery Coward. Today Grecco Romank announce their new album Wet Exit (available digitally and on Vinyl LP on March 23 via Moral Support), a coinciding tour throughout Aotearoa, and share the new single Celestial Poison. Celestial Poison sees Grecco Romank hone their brand of ‘sewer pop’ - taking church bells and choral energy, then combining it with raw techno staples like monobass synths, and drum machines. For Celestial Poison the group were joined by Jeff Henderson (Audio Foundation, iii Records) on baritone saxophone and Ron Gallipoli who provided his trademark tropical industrial yodel. “We wanted to write a pop song,” says the band. “Something grand and soaring like The Pet Shop Boys but filtered through our harsh palette. It had to make use of our strongest asset - having two vocalists who can play opposing roles in the drama of a number, like Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra.” “When we write lyrics or name tracks our approach is to find phrases and ideas that are often quite abstract, then, slowly a theme starts to emerge through the fog. For Celestial Poison we realised that a lot of the lyrics we were incorporating seemed to speak to ideas of misinformation, pseudo-science and magical thinking. We often try to play with our lyrics by taking on different roles and perspectives, often ones that are contrary to our own views or moral position.” Reflecting on how Celestial Poison fits within Wet Exit Grecco Romank promise “that [Celestial Poison] it’s the earworm of our album. It's our most dramatic and catchy track on a varied and wild record." "Hopefully it’s the anthem that will be New Zealand’s official entry into Eurovision 2023." Celestial Poison is the second single to be released from Wet Exit, Grecco Romank's new album, out March 23, 2023 on local label Moral Support. Wet Exit will be released digitally and on Vinyl LP, pressed by Holiday Records, Aotearoa's only purpose-built boutique plant.
