Discovery “So Insane”
A year ago this time we were hyping Discovery’s “Orange Shirt”, a blurry indie-pop-meets-crunk summertime confection that could best be summed up as nerdy White boys concocting their own “Love In This Club”. The introductory single and succeeding leak “Osaka Loop Line” were both compelling enough to jumpstart our intrigue for what else the duo (made up of Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles) could produce, but that turned out to be so long of a wait, the guys had kinda fell off our radar.
This week, Discovery premiered a couple more songs via their website to tease the release of their July 6th/ 7th-set self-titled debut and instantly, our curious anticipation for the band has been reignited.
The one track that’s got us the most excited would have to be “So Insane”, a quite “insane” tune that fiddles around with a slew of different tempos as numerous punchy drum machine attacks inspire us to pull off our best Janet Jackson circa-Rhythm Nation 1814 choreographed dance breaks. Helping tie the manic beat together: a dreamy vocal about catching teen romance at the local discotheque and it’s lovable grasping of all the stomach-tingling feelings that puppy love creates (“Ooh baby you’ve got me going/ So insane/ And I just don’t know what’s goin’ down…”).
