Prison Choir are Pōneke s next generation of musicians finding their feet. Primarily directed by Xanthe (far left), Josh (back middle) and Christian (second from right). After practicing and arranging for a year before they played their first shows last month, they have already garnered a reputation as a must-see. Having seven members from diverse musical backgrounds has meant the band have amalgamated different influences and built a complex sonic structure. Members have previously played in Yukon Era, Soda Boyz, Courtney Hate, Boycrush and Fruit Juice Parade.
Tongue is a fantasy song about making out with someone with honey in your mouth. Beginning with an emergent arpeggio and slightly unsettling breathy vocals, the song eventually slides into a lush chorus that washes over you, asking you to submit, Lie down on the ground and watch me, twirling around, a cell dancing.
