Boy Azooga pay tribute to William Onyeabor on Heavenly Recordings debut
Boy Azooga have unveiled William Onyeabor tribute "Face Behind Her Cigarette", their debut single for new label Heavenly Recordings.
The psych-pop voyagers - led by Cardiff’s Davey Newington - worked on the track with producer Eddie El Shakarchie (aka Dr Ed Boogie) in his living room.
"This song is basically just a celebration (rip off) of the late great William Onyeabor," explains Newington. "I wanted the percussion to be purposefully a bit too loud, maybe by the usual standard. Loads of Onyeabor's percussion is blaring in the mix, but it makes it sound so live and feely. I wanted to create that feeling of being in the room where the music is being played."
The hypnotic/chaotic accompanying vid was directed by Toby Cameron.
