Out today! 🙌
follow up On Islands with another track from their forthcoming album and it’s a bold balearic move as they give us their own unique cover of an absolute stone cold classic! 🪩 💥
Idris Muhammed’s ‘Could Heaven Ever Be Like This’ is a heavenly chunk of dreamy, disco-era jazz-funk that’s been capable of reducing grown men and women to tears when played at the right time and was a firm fave of at his legendary Loft parties (so no pressure then!). Under the studio science of Birds Of Pandæmonium the track is given a full psychedelic fuelled makeover and into a slo-mo, cosmic-space disco hybrid number that chugs as much as it grooves in its (just under) 10 min run time. 🙌
Less jazzy than the OG but still with enough shoulder twitching tendencies to make even Herbie Hancock cut a rug. Stabby pianos with warped guitars & synths and some reverb drenched horns by all wrapped up in an ethereal vocal delivery keeps you hooked throughout. Not too far from the original but enough to make this juicy number stand on its own 2 woozy feet and soundtrack some serious Summertime action.
