Armed with an anthem that’s worthy to be the soundtrack of the summer, ‘Water Balloons’ is Hoofa’s latest single
Indie-pop duo Hoofa are destined for greatness, and by greatness we mean their name in lights while fans scream their name on a sold out tour. ‘Water Balloons’ is their second release of 6 new self-released singles out this year. Following on from the success of their single ‘Alone’, the duo are bound to gain a wider audience with their solid creativity.
Speaking on the single, the band explains, “’Water Balloons’ depicts a big Water Balloon fight James was involved in when a kid. James lived at the bottom of a hill next to a park and the street he lived on had between 15-20 families of 2 kids each, and there was one summer when everyone was involved, even the parents sometimes.
The fight was the top of the hill vs bottom fo the hill, and lasted hours. It was a rare fight where no one used the super soakers but was more about strategy, jumping over fences and catching people off guard. As some kids couldn’t get permission to use their parents water tap, the common shout was ‘I’ll bring the water balloons’ if you let someone use your tap to fill up”
Glazed in rainbow colours, the overall soundscape of ‘Water Balloons’ channels jangly pop and bewitching vocals. Produced by Hoofa, mixed by Ed Heaton and mastered by Barry Grint, ‘Water Balloons’ is vibrant and features a whole string of incredible people working behind the scenes too.
A nostalgic feel to it’s core, Hoofa’s golden anthem will certainly turn heads.
