London's indie alt-electronic trio Strong Asian Mothers follow their two EP releases, 'Lynx Africa’ and ‘Animal’, with single 'All I Do', out this week via Old Money Land Money Records / Kobalt.
Showing a darker side to their pop/hip-hop hybrid, 'All I Do' is a swirling mix of stuttering percussion, brass stabs, eerie sustained synth chords and ever-increasing energy.
Lyrically, the track starts off as if a boozy ode to intoxication with the the line "All I do is drink / all I do is drink" but when the rest is revealed - "tap water from the kitchen sink" - it turns it into something more playful and more surreal. From that point on the lyrics appear to be a flow of ideas from the subconscious, all stemming from that opening line.
