The Arthur Brothers – Violet Hum
The Arthur Brothers - Violet Hum
Release Date: Out Now
So, there was a lot of hype around
the video accompanying this latest release from London trio the Arthur Brothers
which always makes me a little nervous about the quality of the music but my
fears are misplaced. Waaaaay misplaced. ‘Violet Hum’ opens with a ‘Sledgehammer’-esque
fanfare before settling in to a vibe that is somewhere between Cosmo Sheldrake,
Jim Noir and Eels after drinking a pot of mushroom tea. Admittedly the visuals
are amazing and almost a little distracting so when this one kicks in to full
on Talking Heads jamming with Flight of the Conchords quirk-pop with a J-Pop
inspired break down and some steel drums. Honestly, this is one of the
strangest but most compelling songs of the year and it’s taken a few listens
but I am now firmly in the ‘this is genius’ camp. If this isn’t in my best tracks
of 2019 list at the end of the year then some very special things would have to
have happened.
