We’re maybe 24 hours too late with this one, but it’s got to be Halloween somewhere right? To be honest this new spooky-themed track from Mallrat is so good, we’ll be vibing to it through Bonfire Night, Rememberance Day and all twelve days of Christmas.
‘Hocus Pocus‘ sees the Australian singer hook up with producer Kito for this 2-step, Y2k late addition for a seasonal playlist. The video is some of kind apocalyp-trip armageddon with Mallrat spending her final moments, chilling in a field with horses, goats and a swan. She says, “I fell over and fractured my arm dancing to this demo on a walk home. I couldn’t help but be excited! I had to wear a cast and sling. When I was writing the pre-chorus section of this song I was thinking of the sharp inhale breaths as lyrics that needed their own moment, kind of like a punchline. A lot of the time in pop music, breaths are edited out and turned down, but they felt important here to me.”
