Kirkis – Out The Womb

I don’t know if it’s too early in the morning for a track like this but I’m defying convention and throwing traditional bloghaviour to the wind, let’s do this folks. Due warning though, you’re about to spend the next four minutes and forty four seconds tripping balls. The other day I was asked to add some tracks into a play list titled ‘Best Stoner Tracks’ and if I’d had the forethought to nominate this one right here I might have received some celebratory hi-fives for a bang on suggestion. Visually, it’s pretty Boosh-esque and headlines a series of foetal images and Captain Alfoil which in itself is reasonably interesting in tandem with the filters and overlays but it’s the tune atop it all that has been doing it for me. If you’re at all familiar with 70s glam-folk then you might recognise that this is a highly convoluted cover of T. Rex’s Cosmic Dancer which for me is a bloody good choice of songs to cover indeed. Ya boy Kirkis does it admirably too. Best choice for him, I think, because both his completely whacked out version and T. Rex’s original are sleeping on a glorious bassline though despite a new title, Kirkis’ version sounds slightly more Cosmic. Also, if I’m not mistaken those are the vocals of Lorelei who featured on his banger ‘The Soft Machine’ which I liked a whole bunch a few months back (and still like but that was when I, you know, started liking it). She’s no stranger to the BVs performing similar duties for Hiatus Kaiyote who just today announced that they’ve signed with Flying Buddah + and are hopping a jet to Europe so that’s a pretty good twofor. Anyway, ingest this at your leisure. It’s from his forthcoming LP Liverbleach.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Kirkis is one of the best bass players out there today, and working his bass lines with his wacky tunes is genius. I’m looking forward to his LP. Hopefully we can get it on vinyl
