Stockholm indie trio VELVET MOON unveiled their latest single, ‘The Hour of King Kong’, alongside a spellbinding video on November 29, 2024, via Argle Bargle Studios. Fusing sultry synth-pop with evocative storytelling, their sound draws comparisons to Fleetwood Mac and The Eurythmics. With over 15 million streams, viral Indonesian success, and features in global campaigns, the band has built a multi-generational fanbase. Their upcoming album, Endless War In The Summer (2025), follows standout hits like ‘A Love Song’ and ‘Daylight’, further cementing their rise as a modern indie powerhouse.
‘The Hour of King Kong’ pulses with tension and mystery, blending lush 80s new wave shimmer with captivating urgency. Sandra’s fervent yet restrained vocals narrate a primal tale of struggle and ecstasy, while the video pairs the band’s understated presence with sweeping visuals—from 3D apes to ticking clocks and nocturnal cityscapes.
The band divulged: “The Hour of King Kong,” evokes a powerful, almost mythic moment of transformation where struggle and ecstasy intertwine. An instant marked by surrender to primal forces, unleashing the untamed aspects of desire and instinct. A struggle between domination and submission, chaos and clarity, pain and ecstasy creates a moment of awakening-a realization that in giving in to these forces, one finds a new kind of freedom.”
