NW MSTRKRFT SNGL RCKS
I bet no one’s ever done that with a MSTRKRFT post title before. Man, I’m clever.
MSTRKRFT’s last (and only) LP, The Looks, was my gateway drug to electro. At first pass, while sitting at my computer, I found the album a little dull. A week later I heard “Paris” at a party and from there slowly grew to love the whole thing. I’ve been waiting for anything new from these guys (not counting remixes) and finally we get something. Not much, but it still RCKS. A while back, the KRFT talked a little bit about their upcoming LP due this September and hinted at some surprising guest vocals. I’m guessing this new single is a small taste of what to expect later this year. The disc includes the new single, “Bounce (Feat. N.O.R.E.)” as well as a studio version of the live fan favorite, “Vuvuvu,” which was affectionately named by Xavier of Justice fame, in his attempt to describe the type of music MSTRKRFT make. The studio version doesn’t live up to the live version, but it’s still a fun song, especially with the crowd cheers during the tempo change. The real story here is “Bounce” though, which makes you wonder what The Looks could have been if they had a collection of guest vocalists throughout the album. Even more excited for the new LP. Check out both songs below:
