| Morakoza - Free Pistonhead |
I've had a lot of music from a
lot of Canadian bands over the last year or so - no idea why, I know like 2
Canadians and I've never been to the country of maple syrup and ice hockey -
but Morakoza have to be one of the bands that could cross over to the UK scene
most successfully. This single, 'Free Pistonhead', is a beautiful mix of
Alt-J's off kilter melodies and rhythms, Kasabian's swagger, elements of
Madchester and just a snippet of the indie cool of bands like Foals and the
Maccabees. The guest hip-hop rhymes from Toronto artist Porter Jae gives the
latter part of the song another dimension altogether with a dark edge and a
sense of menace. The EP that this single precedes is due out in August and I,
for one, can't wait to hear it.
