Newcastle Upon Tyne jazz trailblazers Knats have released a new single titled “Take a Seat on the Settee”. 

This latest track sees the quintet collaborating with local Geordie noise-rock pals lots of hands, and once again highlights the scope of their compositional chops. Written by Knats’ Stanley Elvis Woodward, “Take a Seat on the Settee” is a tongue in cheek, genre-fluid piece combining elements of warped orchestral art-rock with harmonic ideas from the likes of Satie and Shoenburg. The result is something equal parts surreal and seductive, as warbled vocals  dance around explosive horn and sax breakouts, uncanny keys, hazy guitar lines, and deceptively intricate drums. Speaking about the storyline Woodward says it “details a lad telling his mam about all the naughty stuff he did when he was younger.”

This is pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
