Ben Woods Reveals Single / Video 'Wearing Divine' + Announces Tour
Get ready to feel some feelings with the latest slice of warped-out folk goodness from Ōtautahi's Ben Woods. The second single from his forthcoming album Dispeller, today's drop 'Wearing Divine' boasts vocal features from Dunedin artist Lucy Hunter and none other than the Prince of Lyttelton himself, Marlon Williams. 'Wearing Divine' will have you teetering between heart-eyed swooning and having the hairs on the back of your neck stand up with its careful balance of angelic voices and signature Ben Woods unhinged distortion. Directed by Woods and Julian Vares, the visual accompaniment takes us through a series of refracted gothic scenes, culminating in a spooky / cute slow dance between Woods and Hunter.
Along with today's song and the announcement of Dispeller, the Christchurch songwriter shares news of a nationwide tour this September to celebrate the release. Get the low down below, and slip into Ben Woods' 'Wearing Divine'...
