Hana Piranha set the tone their new single Fucked Up Feeling, with expansive and cinematic rising guitars, and immersive drums fused with a pulsing base delivered emotively and organically.
Vocals are delivered with strength, prowess and exude confidence with lyrical highlights that include the introspective and visual opener, “In my idle thoughts, you’ll find me in the woods, a defiled corpse, you won’t identify me, life imitating art, I wanna fall apart, can’t stand this beating heart, so come and take it from me.”
Fucked Up Feeling takes us on a narrative driven journey of resorting to wilder activities with the hook, “I just want that fucked-up feeling, I just want my senses reeling, until the floor’s the ceiling”.
Sometimes the path of righteousness is difficult to take and Fucked Up Feeling shines a light on the realism and darkness that coexists on planet earth with, “Baby, I’ve tried being good, but some angels don’t fall, they just throw themselves off, and I’m not in the mood to even try anymore…”
Hana Piranha’s alternative rock vibe has a nostalgic and relatable sonic energy which is also fused with a lot of futurism in terms of vocal production, but they say they are also here to “shock the censors and ensnare the senses”.
Fucked Up Feeling features a wall of synths and guitars, backed by a huge drum sound provided by Ryan Brown (of Dweezil Zappa fame).
Speaking on the track, Hana Piranha say, “Make no mistake, this song is not for those with tender sensibilities. It’s a serenade to your darker impulses and a harrowing portent of where the road to indulgence might lead. It’s a relentless anthem of self-destruction.”
We have been immersing ourselves in the work of Hana Piranha and also love their album Waiting to Burn. Fucked Up Feeling is featured on our New Music Spotlight playlist!
Nightmares, loneliness and dark desires are the driving forces behind the sound and world of Hana Piranha. Hana Maria, the daughter of a Catholic priest, was born during a hurricane; a prophetic beginning to the diary that’s exposed in her turbulent and often disturbing songwriting. The singer and multi-instrumentalist grew up in Wellington, New Zealand, moving to England at the age of twelve to pursue her dream of becoming a concert violinist. Disillusioned with the world of classical music, she began pushing boundaries both in art and in life – the two becoming so intertwined that it became hard to know where one began and the other ended. To Hana Piranha, life is nothing but an opportunity to create art, which is why the artist opens her diary so candidly to the world. The journey documented by the music of Hana Piranha has been an eventful one so far and holds the promise of many more twists and turns to come. You get the feeling that around her, anything could happen…
