JOSH PYKE RELEASES QUIRKY LYRIC VIDEO FOR HOLLERING HEARTS AHEAD OF 5TH STUDIO ALBUM RELEASE ON JULY 31
Two weeks out from the release of his anticipated fifth studio album, But For All These Shrinking Hearts (due July 31), Josh Pyke has dropped a quirky lyric video for single one, Hollering Hearts.
“Inspired by old-school encyclopedia’s and specifically the section of plastic pages used to separate the human body into layers of muscles, bones and organs,” the video cleverly uses the upbeat, ukulele driven track to tell an animated tale of ‘Josh Pyke’s guide to the human body’, comically conveying what lies beneath the skin of a chirpy skeleton, animated version of Pyke. With each page of the book turned, a new layer of life is revealed on the skeleton, first a heart, then other organs, veins and more until eventually a fully living Josh Pyke is revealed.
“It was great fun getting dressed up to create the foundation for the Hollering Hearts lyric video, I’ve been wanting to rock a skeleton body suit for a while now,” jokes Pyke.
Recorded across Sony, Alberts and Pyke’s home studio with John Castle (Megan Washington, Vance Joy) at the helm, “A lot of this record is me thinking about my relationship with creativity,” Josh explains. “It’s all starting to feel real now, two weeks till album number five is out! The strange lull between making a record and it being out in the world is almost over and I can’t wait!” beams Pyke.
For those who are keen to get to a show to hear Pyke’s new material live in an intimate setting, there are still an extremely limited number of fans-first album pre-order packages available. Comprising the deluxe edition of the new record featuring two exclusive tracks, a collectors lyric magnet set and an exclusive ticket to one of Pyke’s fans-first shows in Sydney at The Soda Factory on July 29, Melbourne at Bella Union on August 5, Adelaide at Grace Emily on August 6 and Brisbane at Black Bear Lodge on August 12.
