WACO have announced their second album, ‘Hope Rituals’.
Due on 28th August via Venn Records, the news arrives alongside lead single ‘Dark Before The Dawn’, proceeds from which will go towards the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust in support of #BlackLivesMatter.
“This song is about hope, collectivism and our future,” explains frontman Jak Hutchraft. “It’s about how ideas and dreams can change the world. It’s about how we can be proud of how far we’ve come, while still fighting for a better tomorrow. It’s about how peace and progression will come through relearning our connection with the earth, the animals and the entire biosphere here on earth. This is a manic stream of consciousness that arose after a short period of freewriting. However, it feels oddly prescient, given the current social climate. The message is greatly important to us in these times and always. Black lives matter.”
