So unless you’ve had your ears glued to the underground scene you may not have heard much out Basement Jaxx duo over the past few years. With their forthcoming album ‘Scars’ which is complete and finally being mastered the anticipation is almost over. I think they’ve really started to come into their own, really hit their stride if you know what I mean. This new release will include a host of special guests, yes….Yoko Ono, Santigold,
Lightspeed Champion, Yo! Majesty, Cyndi Lauper, and Sam Sparro to name a few. I got my hands a couple of the tracks. ‘Raindrops’ is the first single and is far poppier than the grime that Basement Jaxx may have been known for. Some say this is them wanting to appeal to a larger audience. I say just shut up and listen. “My Turn” a ballad about a woeful romance is paired with a pounding dance floor beat and the electro touch all makes for a perfect backing. I’ll be celebrating all the hits when ‘Scars’ arrives September 22nd.
