Just this week, Australian based group, Hermitude, unleashed a brand-new video to go with the song, “Through The Roof.” The electronic music duo from Sydney were thoroughly praised for the release of their album HyperParadise and even won an Australian Music Prize for the record. HyperParadise even got recognized and remixed by fellow Aussie producer, Flume. Flume’s remix of the track has had tens of millions of plays. After such huge recognition, let’s just say the boys have been kept busy.
Now considered one of Australia’s premier electronic acts, Hermitude, is making their way internationally and are touring all over the US this month on the “Through The Roof Tour” in support of their new album set to be released in May of this year. Making stops at US festivals like SXSW, Lightning In A Bottle, Counter.point, Wakarusa and Governors Ball, Hermitude is sure to rustle some feathers during their US tour and acquire loads of new fans.
In an effort to give fans a little taste of what’s to come, Hermitude released their first single off the new album, “Through the Roof.” The track is a dance floor anthem with lots of heavy synth and beautifully incorporated Mariachi horns that really set the tune off. Hermitude worked with artist Young Tapz on the track, where he provided vocals that were chopped and laid out in a stylish manner.
The music video for “Through The Roof” is nothing short of insane. A burly lady whipping around in a drag car with Hermitude in the back having the time of their lives; yeah, it’s that insane. Lots of slow motion shots and illusions of ghosts rising from the smoke, produced by the burned rubber on the tires of the dragster, encompass the dark and dirty dance floor vibe, while the ladies in the beginning of the video and the overall feelings of joy expressed by Hermitude’s other half convey the upbeat, fun nature of the tune.
“Through The Roof” is going to make waves in clubs ad festivals across the US and definitely in Australia; it truly has all the makings for a banger. Hopefully the rest of the album will stand up to the standards set by this track and moves people the same way.
