A chaotic, yet entirely infectious assault on the ears- Banji’s latest single ‘Listen’ will make you sit up and do just that.
Spiky guitars, self-assured and steadfast percussion and video game synths, carry a melody that sounds like a grown-up nursery rhyme - this somewhat hectic combination of sounds and sensations shouldn’t work, but somehow, they really do. Hailing from the Netherlands, Banji have taken inspiration from the likes of Darwin Deez and Beck to create a sardonic symphony which packs a real punch and treads the very thin line between charming and obnoxious, managing to stay just the right side of it. Amidst the layers of music, hidden elements of sound emerge on the track and seem to be fighting for the limelight, reflecting notions of child-like stubbornness and over-talking found in its lyrics.
With its lively and energetic demeanour immediately captivating the listener, ‘Listen’ is sure to be jangling about your ears long after listening.
