Santigold – Big Mouth
A quick post before we head home from work, but a highly necessary one. If you, like millions of others, have been sitting around twiddling your thumbs getting extremely bored of waiting for Santigold to drop some new material, then praise be, for SOME IS HERE. Although we were blessed with the Karen O-featuring ‘Go’ almost a year ago, that’ll barely prepare you for the earth shattering bombast that is ‘Big Mouth’.
No one does globally influenced raggacumindiecumweirdbasslacedpop quite like Santi and this new track has stepped things up several notches. Having witnessed her show at Bestival, we were excited about the new songs which were very much orientated in the ‘shitloads of insane carnival percussion’ camp and this is one such beast. On first listen we thought ‘Big Mouth’ sounded like Buraka Som Sistema meets Major Lazer meets a Rio street parade – which’ll come as no surprise then, as Switch and the aforementioned BSS took the reigns on this.
With a suitably ridiculous cartoony video to suit what is definitely a rather overblown, ridiculous song this sets a very excitable tone for new album “Master Of My Make-Believe”, due imminently in the coming months. Watch the video below, then head over to Santigold’s website where you can pick up the track for free.
