More New Jams from Jinja Safari

Just last week I ran a post about Jinja Safari and their song “Hiccups,” which I described as a broader bit of collage pop. This time around, the group’s offering up a more thoughtful tune, which still demonstrates their playfulness all the while showing some restraint. It would seem that with hits like these we’re right around the corner for a brilliant debut LP, yet still no final word on a release date. Wait for the song to past the minute mark, then it really gets rolling with some incredible drumming and even some edgier guitar playing in the background. I’m really excited by these dues…how about you?

New Collage Pop from Jinja Safari

October 10, 2012 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I can’t hide from the fact that I’m always intrigued by groups that compile various layers of pop instrumentation into their tunes, much like the current single from Jinja Safari. The group is preparing for a release of their debut sometime in early 2013, but until then I think a lot of people are going to be really excited by this tune. It’s a weird cross between Animal Collective and Local Natives, using tribal influences that mix with more organic electronic sounds. Definitely a sound that I’m interested in hearing more of; I’ll keep you posted as news floats in my way.
