Isle of Wight’s ugly ozo return with their latest single, ‘hi, how are you?’.
Led by Jessica Baker, and joined by her sister Boo Baker on bass and Tristan Northard on drums, the trio continue to break boundaries with their raw, innovative sound.
Written while navigating burnout and emotional exhaustion, ‘hi, how are you?’ is a buzzy, back-and-forth swirl of tension, pushing through monotony and creeping depression. Jessica shares the following:
“I wrote ‘hi, how are you?’ at a time when everything felt pretty hollow and grey. I felt like I really was running on empty, just plodding through the motions of every day without really feeling any fulfilment or satisfaction. This track is kind of like a conversation between myself and my inner rival, like I’m playing tug of war between self-doubt and determination.”
