Walk On Alligators To Safety

Noonday Underground “Come One Come All” – Daisy Martey normally sounds as though she is attempting to blow holes through your speakers with the strength of her voice, but she’s relatively smooth and sedate on this number, which floats along like a light cloud of psychedelic funk on a sunny summer afternoon. The arrangement is a shifting, fluid structure of sweet, soft hooks — swirls of groovy organ riffs, mild electronic distortion fashioned into melodic hooks, miscellaneous samples that float in and out of the mix like a gentle breeze.

San Serac “That Obscure Object Of Desire” – I can describe this song in two words: Suave lunacy. The piano chords shimmer like the self-consciously “classy” hook in Joe Jackson’s “Steppin’ Out,” but that nod towards elegance and sophistication is just a superficial ruse — at its core, “That Obscure Object Of Desire” is corrupt and unhinged. This might be what happens when you grow up wanting to be a debaser. (Click here to buy it from Frog Man Jake.)
