Like a beast in a zoo
I love all my monthly playlists, but some just turn out more special than others, and this one is top-notch. I have been dying for some new Voidz material for years, and they did not disappoint – mixing crushing 80s-flavoured guitar riffs and synths with Casablancas’ usual brand of lyrical chaos. And that bridge has my mind leaping across clouds. As always, I have no choice but to play it full volume as I drive around. I think I’ve found what will become my most played song of the year here.
The Knower track which follows is one of the freshest sounding songs of the year, spiced with chaotic jazz instrumentation (that piano break is bliss). The jazz inspiration continues on IDK‘s Pinot Noir (off the album F65 which is fantastic). There’s just no shortage of good stuff this month. MADMADMAD will have you dancing, Dylan Atlantis will have you soaring, and The Lemon Twigs bring a song which could have been lifted straight from the opening titles of a 90s sitcom.
I tried to resist the urge to bookend it with another Voidz feature, but both songs have consumed the month. The Daft Punk one even has a terrific video as well.
