TROLLFEST Release Music Video For New Single "Piña Colada"
March 16, 2022, 2 years ago
Trollfest will release their ninth full-length studio album, Flamingo Overlord, via Napalm Records on May 27. “Piña Colada” is the latest offering cut from Flamingo Overlord. A video can be viewed below.
The track is a much-needed, energetic anthem with metallic reggae flavor, and takes the stance that sometimes you just want that fruity drink, and no other libation will do! The video perfectly captures the mood of knowing that your best friend is on a tropical island and you are stuck at your same old bar in the middle of winter, covering all genres of entertainment from happy humor to horror.
Singer Jostein “Trollmannen” Austvik about the “Piña Colada” music video: “Friends are important, that is why we have made a video to remind everyone how horribly wrong things can go when you are alone. Also, don't be a picky fuzzmaker and pester your bartender!”
Eirik “TrollBANK“ Renton (bouzouki, vocals & DJ) adds: “Ever been to a bar and the bartender refuses to give you what you ordered? Yups, we too - that what's this video is all about, and some other things also.”
In addition to their beloved trademarks, on Flamingo Overlord, Trollfest don’t shy away from adding new elements to their already expansive soundscape.
Flamingo Overlord begins with the insanely catchy “Dance Like A Pink Flamingo” - the unforgettable track made world-famous with the band’s zany performance at Eurovision qualifier Melodi Grand Prix earlier this year - clearing the way for the bar anthem “All Drinks On Me”, which keeps the energy and drinks flowing before venturing into “Twenty Miles an Hour”. The track continues the party with a groovy funk flavoured sound, featuring a rap and saxophone solo that will leave listeners going bonkers! “Flamingo Libre” will soon whisk you away and have you dreaming of tropical drinks and magical nights, while “Pina Colada” stands as a much-needed summer anthem best suited for blasting while convertible cruising. Flamingo Overlord closes with the mysterious “Bob Venke”, telling the unlikely story of the mighty Flamingo Overlord's quest for world domination.
