Release Date: Out Now
London based alt-ska combo
Imperial Leisure have been around for a while now and they frequently blip up
on my radar so I was pretty excited to see their new single ‘Animal’ pop up in
my inbox. Starting with trademark energy fuelled by horns that you might expect
of a ska band but the angular riffs and rhythms are something more akin to
Arctic Monkeys or Tankus the Henge. The stabs of luxurious organ are pure
Madness while the breathless vocal is lung bustingly impressive and there’s a
chorus just ripe for a good old sing along in a bouncing festival tent with sun
and cider drenching your clothes in equal measure. A funky little trumpet solo
kicks this one over the line and has my feet twitching on first listen.
Definitely one for your summer road trip playlist.
