Indie-punks Fortitude Valley have announced their self-titled debut album, due for release on 3rd September 2021 via their new label Fika Recordings.
To celebrate, the band have released a video for their new single Cassini.
“In September 2017, National Geographic published the article ‘How NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft Met Its Fiery End’. I thought it was so heart-breaking that this spacecraft that NASA had been following for almost 20 years had to be destroyed,” says vocalist/songwriter Laura Kovic.
“In the song, I’ve anthropomorphised the spacecraft and personalised the story a bit, so it’s just between me and Cassini. Cassini is venturing out on a long, lonely journey that will inevitably end in its destruction just so I can see what it’s ‘like out there’. And even though I know how it’s going to end, it doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye.”
