Known for their fun and exuberant approach to dance music, this record sees them collaborate with a diverse range of guest vocalists. From Lightspeed Champion to Yoko Ono, each collaborator brings a new energy to the record, making this effort their most interesting yet. Includes the singles 'Scars' and 'Feelings Gone' with Sam Sparro. Album DescriptionSCARS, an obvious return to form for Basement Jaxx, reins in the big conceptual ambitions of CRAZY ITCH RADIO for better or worse. Getting back to everyday business sounds like sweet relief on tracks like "Twerk," a collaboration with Yo Majesty. And while this is the kind of lunk-headed party theme you'd expect from such a pairing, two of the other marquee-worthy collaborations far exceed expectations. First up is the hot-stepping Santigold cut "Saga" which suggests that a shared love of the Clash and the Specials was discussed ahead of time. More stunning is the Yoko team-up "Day of the Sunflowers (We March On)" which takes a "Walking on Thin Ice" strategy, supporting Ms. Ono's stark poetry reading with a razor-sharp, no wave dance track. The wistful "My Turn," with Lightspeed Champion, is like a grand, danceable dreamer that shows up towards the end of the best Pet Shop Boys albums. While it's a bumpier ride than expected, SCARS is a worthwhile throwback to the kind of freak-attitude that kicked off their career over a decade earlier. Anyone excited by the idea will find plenty to love. If You Enjoy "Scars (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Scars (CD)" by Basement JaxxThere are no customer reviews yet.
