Uh‐oh

A high-energy collision of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and sharp-edged 90s art-rock. Intellectual, brassy, and deeply concerned with the oddities of modern identity.

It's like a high-concept art gallery opening that accidentally turned into a mambo dance party.

An energetic and intellectually curious exploration of modern life's absurdities through a lens of global rhythm.

The production is pushed notably harder into digital clarity than this artist usually allows.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive brass section entry on 'The Cowboy Mambo' that transforms a quirky vocal into a full-blown dance floor anthem.

The jarringly literal and deadpan delivery of the surgical lyrics in 'Now I'm Your Mom' over a deceptively upbeat groove.

The way the rhythmic tension in 'Twistin' in the Wind' mirrors the political anxiety of the lyrics before breaking into a defiant chorus.
