Sri Lankan, South African-born, Melbourne-based artist Ecca Vandal is a fearless sonic shapeshifter that fuses punk, hip-hop, jazz, soul, trip-hop and electronic influences into a sound that’s as explosive as it is unmistakably her own.
Now, she shares her new single ‘MOLLY’, which arrives with a music video directed by Ecca Vandal and Richie Buxton shot in Ballarat, Australia. Ecca and Richie are the masterminds behind all of Ecca Vandal’s visuals to date, creating the vibrant and electric world that Ecca’s sonics live in. ‘MOLLY’ follows her Alternative Press cover story that was released last week, where Ecca spoke about her specific sound that’s shaking up the conversation and hints at a forthcoming full-length project to come.
Speaking about ‘MOLLY’, Ecca shares, “There’s the surface meaning, the chaos, the high, that kind of bliss that comes from forgetting things for a while, from turning the volume down on the world. But underneath all that, there’s something quieter going on – the feeling of being cut down, sometimes broken into pieces, and then slowly finding your way back, getting up again, rebuilding yourself bit by bit.”
