“This song was born from a long dry-spell of lacking in the intimacy department” says Vic. “So if I wasn’t getting any action, I decided I wanted to make something really hot and horny - that champions owning your sexual fantasies and desires!”
‘It’s My Pleasure’ was created with APRA Silver Scroll nominee and producer, Emily C. Browning, with mix and master by Math Bishop. “I really like minimalist prod and it was an exercise in using less elements to create something in-your-face.” Emily says. “We both wanted it to feel like a punchy little arcade game or something, with little reward sounds and different levels. The metal breakdown was Phoebe’s idea and I had to quickly figure out how to play guitar and bass like a metal head. Very fun day in the studio!”
Alongside this song comes a music video, made in collaboration with Adam Hogan (Lore Films), with thanks to NZ On Air’s New Music Single grant. “We wanted to make something cheeky, visually stimulating and silly that matched the vibe of the song, while adding an additional heightened story-telling element to it!”
‘It’s My Pleasure’ is available on all streaming services and is available to purchase on Bandcamp and iTunes.
