Christchurch indie-rockers Mako Road have unveiled their brand new single and clip for, ‘Helicopter’.
It’s a lively jive-laden summer soundtrack with a visual that teases the global party at the end of this decade-defining pandemic; jam-packed live music venues. Naturally Mako Road have been performing and attending live shows for some time thanks to New Zealand’s “in the clear” Covid-19 status, but for us over the pond, the music video teases what’s coming our way.
The clip was filmed at the band’s most recent sold-out show at Auckland’s Powerstation. Tone Deaf journalist Geordie Gray had the below to say of the clip:
“At the risk of sounding overly-sentimental, the video has incited the fuzziest feelings of love for live music. It feels like it’s been a lifetime since I’ve witnessed sylphlike women vibin’ to swaggering indie-rock on the shoulders of men and I’ve missed it.”
Check out Mako Road’s clip for ‘Helicopter’:
Mako Road are in a purple patch after the release of two delightful EPs, The Green Superintendent and Local Safari, which place them in good steed as torch-bearers for the next phase of indie-rock.
