Indie riff rock darling Wiri Donna delivers with new single + music video ‘No Follow Through’ and announces upcoming debut EP
Written by Bianca Bailey and co-produced with engineer James Goldsmith, Bailey says No Follow Through is about trying to keep up with expectations which proceed you.
“It pays homage to the fact that no one else is really counting on you. People have their own expectations about what you’re capable of, or not capable of, but when push comes to shove, you’re the only one setting those expectations for yourself.”
The NZ on Air funded track is also released with a harmless horror created by Sports Team (Annabel Kean and Callum Devlin) who were ‘thrilled’ to be trusted with making the video for Wiri Donna’s gorgeous band debut. “This shoot was a whole lot of fun thanks to the energy brought by Bianca and our two ragdoll stars Alice May Connolly and Ruby Walsh.”
No Follow Through is the first single of the upcoming 6-track EP Being Alone, set for release in May 2022.
It’s been two years since Wiri Donna’s first release – a double single featuring Manuka Money and Wandering Willies. Wiri Donna began as a sensitive indie folk act that was rooted in a time of finding her feet. Now two years later after multiple tours and supporting heavy hitters such as The Beths, Mild Orange and Soaked Oats, she is breaking her stride with a larger and emphatic rock sound.
“‘Being Alone’ is a coming of age record that has been brewing for the past two years. I’d like to think it strikes a balance between eternal optimism and pure devastation, a sentiment that people can either relate or sympathise with.”
No Follow Through is out on March 25th, Followed by The next single Dream of Me on the 22nd of April, and the stunning 6 track EP Being Alone on the 27th May.
Being Alone 12” Vinyl is available for pre-order via Bandcamp.
