Accurately self-described with the term death pop, LA through Australia duo, Vowws, return with a militant, ominous single themed on dark times. Impulse Control comes in similar fashion to the band's previous work, and it's culpable for more commendation on top of their consistently rising reputation.
The band composed of Rizz and Matt Campbell had the following to say about the brand new track: "It’s a unique time for humanity, the machine has stopped and we’re all in solitary having to deal with ourselves. There’s a lot of anxiety that we can’t really run from. Like everyone else, we’re processing a huge shock and experiencing things we’ve never dealt with before.
"We’re grateful to have an outlet for some of the angst, it feels like the best way we can work through something this intense is to capture the feeling. A lot of the song came out of nowhere, straight from the void probably."
The new single comes with a video directed and edited by the band's own Rizz alongside the acclaimed visual artist Jesse Draxler, and shot partially in LA’s Little Tokyo just prior to lockdown, splendidly matching the track's dystopian aura.
