what is this

[holden]

holy vocoder, batman!

are we sure this is Underworld? I mean, there's vocal effects like Oich Oich and Juanita, but those still sound like Karl. Is this a collaborator singing?

What's with the machine-gun blasts of beats? And the unchanging tech beat?

ooh, this is weird.

yes, friendly NPR man says it's new Underworld. Really?!

so tired of fire
so tired of smoke
so tired of fire
so tired of smoke

send me an angel
save me
send me an angel
save me

i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
good day today

tired of drown?
goes so low
tired of drown?
goes so low

so tired of
so tired of
so tired of
so tired of

send me an angel
save me
send me an angel
save me
send me an angel
save me

i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today

so tired of fearing
so tired of dark
so tired of fearing
so tired of dark

send me an angel
save me
send me an angel
save me

i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today
i wanna have a good day today

this is def. underworld.

lyrics blend the tone and feel of 8 Ball and Strumpet in my mind.

I could see this song really hitting the KCRW listeners in the sweet spot. Good choice of a promo for that station.

i get the Strumpet bit - the main synth and driving beat recall that track.
Lyrics uplifting, sure, but by UW standards, they're rather minimal.
Still, two tracks in and Karl's definitely in a happy mood! And still i wonder, is that Karl singing?

those gun blast beats are annoying, though. And i'm not sure i like how high pitched the refrain is. It also has, dare i say, what sounds like a bit of autotone. Yikes.

Credit to them for bringing this out of left field. With the 2nd and 3rd RiverRun, the Breaking and Entering Soundtrack, some of the music on Sunshine, and lots of OWB, i wondered if UW were veering further into ambient or organic/live music. These tracks as well as some of the live bits like Diamond Jigsaw and Strumpet are very electro in tone.

Bonkers!

It's definitely a return to a more melodic, synthy vibe, just like Steve Hall said it would be.

The Revenge of MK1 or MK1 Strikes Back?
