Congratulations on your new track! Can you tell use a little bit about the inspiration behind the song?

Recorded at their home studio “Frazzle Dazzle” where the band resides, “Seeing Red” represents a darker/moodier vibe with a pulsating rhythm and gritty tones. The song touches on feelings of remaining strong, stepping back from yourself, taking a breath and letting things come as they are. There's a raw energy channelling hope, despair and love. It's a victorious beat of the drum calling to better times. We referenced the energy to some Iggy Pop tunes - we know it's quite a different style, but we wanted to capture that energy he manages to so easily emit.

How would you describe your music to someone who has never listened to Majak Door?
If you were to pop your head into our house you would hear a broad range of styles from garage, blues/soul, rock to hip hop, reggae/dub and afro playing over the speaker. We take inspiration from bands such as Good Morning, Real Estate, Mac Demarco, The Strokes and Tame Impala. Though we also have another side to our sound where we love that Black Keys sound, The Growlers, Allah Las, The Murlocs and even referenced Iggy Pop for our latest single “Seeing Red”. We want to continue experimenting with our sound though you will always hear these influences ducking in and out.

If you could share the stage with any artist (dead or alive) who would you choose?
The Black Keys would be crazy, they have a great lively energy which would be amazing just to see. Would be sick to cut loose on our more rocky/garage-y songs on a support slot with them.

If you could perform at any festival of your choice, which one would you choose?

Primavera Sound would be nuts, lapping up that Spanish sun, sharing the stage with insane acts and just being in Europe in general - we would be in heaven.

Can we expect any live shows from Majak Door in the near future?

We have our single tour coming up end of July. Playing The Gasometer, Melbourne 23/7 - The Brightside, Brisbane 28/7 - The Great Club, Sydney 29/7 and The Shy Postie, Wollongong 30/7.
