Sun-bleached, world-wise and unshaven since this time last week, what Aussie producer D.D Dumbo’s new track “Tropical Oceans” lacks in clean-cut production finesse, it more than makes up for in swaggering melody.
Steady and spartan in both tempo and arrangement, D.D’s gossamery hum pokes, just about, through the thump of tribal percussion and a twanging deep south guitar riff. There’s bonus weird-pop points on offer for the (slightly threatening) mention of opening up skulls and “your cousins chihuahua”. Brilliantly bonkers.
“Tropical Oceans” is available as an instant download when pre-ordering D.D’s forthcoming debut EP, out on The Blue Rider (early Jagwar Ma). Pre-order here.
