Somebody Do Something release new single, ‘Liquify’

Oregon born, New Zealand based six-piece collaboration, Somebody Do Something deliver the first single from their debut forth-coming album, Liquify.

It’s eerie yet catchy indie-rock soundscape features large atmospheric guitars, natural drums and in-your-face vocals, with a vast amount of layers and textures. Written by front-women Marlee Fay, it draws inspiration from the feeling of losing one’s mind. She has spoken of her imagined sensation of waking up in a hospital room; confused, a bit hazy from being sedated, then coming to and figuring out where you are. “I know people who have had this experience, and I think about how intense and scary that must be. Waking up and feeling like you don’t belong there but there’s no escape. The lyrics expand from there, and it isn’t clear if the subject in focus is actually ‘crazy’ or not. This is how I personally feel about humankind; with an ever-present question that is; what is crazy, really?”

Liquify was one the the first tracks the band wrote together after their formation in mid-2020.“It seemed to unleash a lot of energy for the group, both musically and in terms of our ambition for the project.”

During 2021 the band, along with a large percentage of independent artists, suffered the impact of the (New Zealand) COVID-19 alert level system. Somebody Do Something looked to Aotearoa’s dedicated crowdfunding platform for the arts, Boosted NZ, to raise the funds needed to bring their next project to life. Over the course of three weeks in December 2021, the band managed to raise 110% of their target amount before heading into the studio.

Liquify is the first single leading into Somebody Do Something debut album, which is due out later this year.
