Psychedelic Kiwi Funk-Rock Band Black Comet Release ‘Over & Out’
Comets are primitive cosmic bodies made up primarily of volatile elements, rocky dust and dark organic compounds, so it makes sense that Black Comet are similarly difficult to reduce to a single ingredient. They pull together funk, rock, soul and heavier influences, shifting shape from release to release while retaining the groove at its core. Black Comet continue their galactic trajectory with new single Over & Out.
Following their funk-driven reworking of Bobby Brown’s My Prerogative, Black Comet shift into a heavier orbit on Over & Out, a groove-led rock track built around cool riffs, tight rhythms, and the dynamic interplay at the centre of the Black Comet sound.
Initially conceived with a Queens of the Stone Age-meets-Rage Against the Machine energy in mind, Over & Out brings a harder edge to the band’s established blend of funk, rock and high-energy musicianship. Frontman Laughton Kora’s distinctive vocal tone and melodic lines sit comfortably over the band’s rhythmic weight, distortion and groove.
Over & Out represents the next transmission from Black Comet as the band works toward the next chapter of their ongoing galactic narrative.
“‘It’s about being sick and tired of waiting on others and just wanting to get things done – to get them over and out,” says Laughton.
“It could be about music, jobs or anything really. That’s the root of the song, and we put it together with some cool ’90s guitar tones.”
