The Eighth Note: WOMB

eighth-note

‘The Eighth Note’ is 8 quick Questions with Wellington Musicians.

A chance for us to catch up with people & see what they’re up to, or introduce you to a new musician/band and their music.

Today’s guests are Georgette, Haz, and Charlotte from WOMB.

Who are you? Tell us a bit about your music:
We are Womb, born from Keziah’s womb. It was a great first home; disco balls, bean bags, a spa, great decor. Womb’s music is about feeling like you’re laying your head on someone’s belly, listening to them speak, and the words sound simultaneously so close they could swallow you whole, and so far away you could never reach them.

What have you been working on lately? Any new tracks or albums on the way?
😉 Let’s keep it all a bit mysterious for now, but stay tuned and expect lots of music and visuals coming your way soon!!!

Where is the best place people can follow you & find your music?
Bandcamp & Facebook.

In your songwriting or composing (or the band’s songwriting) how do the compositions and songs take shape?
Charlotte goes out wandering in attempt to understand the nuances of life and friendships and emotions and transform these experiences into words. Then she offers them up to Hazzie and Georgette who make the songs come alive through sonorous subtleties.

Where/when is your next gig?
We are heading up to Auckland in a couple of weeks and will be playing a few shows there with some of our all-time favourite musicians!
