I've been away attending weddings and messing up my sleep pattern with five days away from work! Fear not, though, books were finished and video games were played, monster was consumed and sleep took the back burner.
So! Back to work today and so back to working out and posting ditties for you! We've got a dilly for you today, yessir!
Meet Deep Cotton and their epidemic inducingly infections "We're Far Enough From Heaven Now We Can Freak Out."
There's scant information on Deep Cotton available besides the fact that they are part of the Wonderland Arts Society fronted by the gorgeous Janelle Monae and that this song was used in a Sonos advertisement staring them all together.
The song itself is just pure fun. Starting off with some echo-y choir vocals and strummy guitar, we quickly break into the meat of the song which is a chipper guitar and tambourine creature. The vocals are right out of a cartoon. They cheerfully and recklessly sing the enigmatic (Or pure nonsense?) lyrics in a style similar to Andre 3000 when he's at his most unhinged. (Like this shining example.) With a guitar solo we're flung into outer-space for the echo-y "La la la" bridge. Switch back and forth with chants of "We're far enough from heaven now we can freak out" and "La la la lalala la la la la lala la la la lala la la laaaaa" until we drift away with more echos until we float so far that we can't hear the song anyway.
Off-kilter, off-center, off-the-wall and a laugh riot. Check it!
Soundtrack to: Doling out chores in preparation for a kick ass party!
This song's been around a while with no new output from Deep Cotton. I sincerely hope they break the silence soon, though something with this much energy and haphazard style is going to be a hell of a tough one to top.
