The title track of my upcoming album, Hair on Fire, has a music video and it just premiered in Holler Magazine!
Holler says:
‘Hair on Fire’, the rafter-raising title track to his forthcoming album is the song that perhaps best exemplifies this awakening and that somehow embodies the entire spirit of the new record. It's a kind of raw, spooked neo-blues reminiscent of The Cave Singers, Charlie Parr or the Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band.
Imagine the gospel fervour of Pastor T.L. Barrett and the Youth For Christ Choir mixed up with the energetic neo-folk of Arcade Fire and the contemporary rootsiness of The Lumineers and you might be getting somewhere close to the sound that La Botz has pulled together on ‘Hair On Fire’. It’s both heavily indebted and oddly anachronistic. A loose fusion of floor-thumping country, hand-clapping gospel folk and low down, dirty delta blues that lifts you up and shakes out your soul.
