Black Vanilla – SMACKS

Black Vanilla (recently returned victorious from a Splendour In The Grass set) are back with a track that is perfect for all you middle class whiteys who want to feel somewhat less middle class whitey. SMACKS is (according to the hollered vocals of the song itself) ‘the antidote’. The antidote to what exactly? Maybe to ‘chill’ music. Maybe to ‘nice’ music. Maybe to MUSIC ITSELF.

What we here at SoundDoc just bloody love about Black Vanilla is the singularity of vision you hear in their releases. The tracks are always so focused, every note and lyric filled with more aggressive sneer than a coalition backbencher driving through Mt Druitt.

2050 years ago Cicero wrote ‘What is there for which mortal man may wish that he did not attain?’ and I think with the advent of free downloads, we can finally put that question to bed with the answer: nothing. Listen and download here.
