Oh goodness. Sporadic updates abound, don't they!?
My time's being taken up by work an awful lot of late and it doesn't show any sign of letting up. It's driving me crazy!
Luckily this video seems to be pretty crazy itself, so it knows how I feel.
Basement Jaxx are a band I can never figure out. They change sound and style a lot, use different singers for every track but still, whenever you hear a new Jaxx track you can tell it's them. I noticed this a few albums back and it's still true. I can't put my finger on why it is, but it is.
This is a quirky one for sure! The video is full of bright colours, strange costumes and video effects. It seems to be bizarre for the sake of it but damn it, it's fun! The song is built on a lot of different layers and throws together machine drums with tribal sounding vocals and instruments. Under everything else is a simple bassline that drives the whole thing and on top we have some nature-based lyrics like "I wanna go back to the wild!" and "Take me to the jungle!" The track is pretty short but after a few listens, I want to put it on repeat and dance in my monkey pyjamas!
I can't wait to see Basement Jaxx this summer at Sommerset house. I hope they bust this one out!
Ya le! Ya le! Ya le lelele lelele!
Soundtrack to: Meeting monkeys.
