Booka Shade – More!
Recent singles Donut and Bad Love have been whetting our appetite for the fourth Booka Shade album. Finally landing next week, it’s without a doubt their best work yet. Featuring 11 tracks in a compact 45 minute running time, it’s a cracking wee journey through their trademark melancholy tech house with nods to electro on “The Door” and with sprinkings of synth pop goodness throughout.
Dieter Meier of the legendary Yello pops up on “Divine” and regular collaborator Chelonis R. Jones provides vocals for the aforementioned “Bad Love” but it’s opening track “Havanna Sex Dwarf” that stands out for me as the best on the album. With it’s booty shakin bassline sitting alongside a ridiculously catchy synth line, it sets the bar high for the album and shows that even four albums in, there’s no sign of stagnation in the Booka Shade camp.
Available at Boomkat from April 26th.
