VUKOVI have returned with the second single from their upcoming album, MY GOD HAS GOT A GUN, that’s set for release on 24th January via SharpTone Records.
MISTY ECSTASY is a vibrant statement of sexual empowerment and a shining beacon of the joy that it can bring. The track arrives alongside a Saltburn inspired music video that pairs the sensual-yet-self-assured nature of the song with an almost supernatural eeriness and unquantifiable sense of danger.
Janine Shilstone reinforces the sentiments of the song by saying: “The most fun/tongue-in-cheek song we’ve created. We wanted to put out something that could cut through a very dark and uncertain time for this day and age. Sex should be fun and safe without judgement. OUR BODY OUR CHOICE”
As the world waited with bated breath for new material, VUKOVI embarked on their first co-headlining tour across the United States with brethren’s Calva Louise, supported metal titans Babymetal across the UK, and conquered a number of major music festivals such as Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Download Festival, Rock For People and Graspop (to name a few). How they found the time to crisscross the globe, leaving a trail of electrified audiences in their wake, remains a mystery.
Some say that when VUKOVI takes the stage, the air hums with a strange electricity, and time itself seems to bend, as if the band is channelling something otherworldly.
We asked the band for comment, but were offered no answers, only more questions.
Their songs tell stories that are both intensely personal and universally relatable, exploring themes of mental health, love, and the human condition with a sharp edge. Yet, beneath the surface, there’s always an undercurrent of something darker, a sense that the music is a portal to a world just beyond the veil of our reality.
As VUKOVI continues to carve their path through the rock landscape, one thing is certain: they are a band unlike any other, a force of nature that refuses to be tamed or fully understood. They invite us to join them on their journey, to explore the uncharted territories of sound and emotion, but they do so on their terms. In the end, perhaps it’s the mystery that makes VUKOVI so compelling—a reminder that in a world where everything seems knowable, there are still secrets worth keeping.
