Geniie Boy lift us up with fun new electro-pop single, 'Elevator To The Sky'
Known for their quirky brand of electro / indie-pop that shimmers with the sonic vibrancy of infinite crystal stars, beloved Gold Coast duo GENIIE BOY are unveiling their newest single ‘Elevator To The Sky’ alongside a zany, space-powered music video accompaniment.
‘Elevator To The Sky’ is wobbly, electro-pop goodness, and the most colourful track this duo has produced so far. The combination of Scott French’s production, and love for eccentric instrumentation, along with Alisha Todd’s effortless, playful vocal takes shine in their first track of the year. Each verse lifts, with the first floor laying the groundwork with some charming 80s synth horns and sparkling guitar, while Alisha toys with us. Second floor, let’s distort some vocals, and introduce some epic theremin. Third floor, let’s drop it back a touch, before we let the final chorus take us to the sky. All the while the wobbly bass synth is guiding you with its ear worm, squelchy, squishy bounce.
Geniie Boy’s debut EP introduced us to songwriting partnership that utilised a more organic sound, but ‘Elevator To The Sky’ sees the duo level up, and we’re keen to see the next move.
Since gliding onto the scene at the start of last year in a swirl of electro-pop grooves and sumptuous sonic tales, GENIIE BOY released a handful of widely-received singles and their debut EP ‘If You Have Something To Say’.
Inspired by a podcast discussing the idea of an elevator to the sky that would act as a conduit for interstellar travel as a way forward for human evolution, ‘Elevator To The Sky’ completely embraces the weird and the wonderful, brought further into being with an appropriately wacky music video accompaniment.
Paying homage to 60’s sci-fi television sets, the video shows GENIIE BOY being beamed up to a party in the sky, glimmering with Futuristic Space People (FSP’s), psychedelic drinks, laser light shows and a space band, completely encapsulating the pair’s creative vision through DIY sets and costumes, as the band states:
“Like all GENIIE BOY things, this video is very DIY. We made the Futuristic Space People costumes (lots of paper mache, putty and trips to Spotlight), directed, filmed part of and edited the clip. We advocate DIY!”
