FOXTROTT

Driven

Joel Frieders | October 12, 2015

I love it when a song playing on a random browser tab in the background makes me click back and start the song over. I never expect to like anything, no matter how dope the video might be, so I only use me ears and me attention span to gauge my interest in a song or artist.

FOXTROTT's "Driven" takes a pretty wide open rhythm and tosses simple layer upon simple layer of drums and vocals and synths and smooshes it together into some sort of tribal electronic mating ritual's soundtrack.

The vocals are the specifically delicious brand of female vocals that I go insane for. They're like La Roux's throat meets the sass and delivery of The Naked and Famous, but with a bloopy rhythm that I find fucking balls.

WHOEVER THE FUCK FOXTROTT IS, they're mine now dog.
