Single Review: Ebony Bones – The Muzik (Sunday Best)

Ebony Bones

And how would you like your female-fronted pop today? Nu electro à la Little Boots/La Roux/Lady Gaga? Wrong. Kooky folk-pop of the Bat For Lashes kind? No thanks. I think instead we’ll have a frenetic burst of genre-bending, ‘crossover’ box-ticking new wavey disco pop-punk please. Which, you’ll be pleased to hear, is exactly what ‘The Muzik’ is (and if you’re familiar with Santigold and MIA you’ll know exactly where I’m coming from with that description). With its fearlessly impassioned vocals, spiky guitars and pummelling beats, there’s an exuberance about ‘The Muzik’ which is as infectious as the flamboyantly-coutured group is colourful (they’ve enough visual appeal to suggest pop fame is not out of reach). The remixes are all fairly memorable too. Whilst The Krays (aka Yuksek and Brodinski) and Lacrate go laidback deep house and drum ‘n’ bass respectively, pick of the bunch is The Sunday Best remix, which throws a preppy spangley indie guitar riff into the shiny disco mayhem. The first anthem of the summer, then. MS
