Track: Froggin

Why We Like It: It’s a jubilant danceable delight as funky elements glide and strut through R&B glimmers and disco flamboyance while the Afro-beat rhythms create that shimmy ready foundation and infectious groove. With jangly keys and effervescent bass line this track prances in, swagger soaked and ready to fill the dancefloor. With a suave melody soulful vocals and hyper tempo its one infectious hook riddled ditty.

Track: Marrakech to Bombay

Why We Like It: It’s a wispy synth driven track that flutters through pulsing beats, ethereal synths and floaty electronics. The reverb laden vocals coo the sweet melody as the band take their sound to a very Tame Impala -esque quality. The soft guitars chime and grace the background with innocence before the song builds becoming more psychedelic and heavy as it reaches its outro.  With the exhilarating crisp soundscape swooshing through the sweet melody and intricately layered instrumentation it’s a polished and well crafted track.

Track: Mad Behavior

Why We Like It:  It’s a slick swagger-dipped, blues/rock number that strolls in mean as hell ready to toss your hair and slap you in the face with Berry’s cool rock ‘n’ roll. The slinky raw guitar jangly slices through punchy drums while Berry’s powerful vocals exclaim passionate wails and growls. Instantly danceable this track will play around in your head for days. The haunting dark backdrop and ghostly backing vocals create a spine chilling effect while the stinging prance on guitars and foot tapping rhythms guarantees repeat listens.
