…weapon can’t ignore, VIDEO: DUTTY MOONSHINE BIG BAND – Tommy & Loretta [feat. Odjbox]
Dutty Moonshine Big Band – ‘City of Sin‘ LP is available for preview at Apple Music.
by Walter Price
From their forthcoming LP, ‘City Of Sin’, Bristol’s Dutty Moonshine Big Band offers up a jazzy hip hop number, “Tommy & Loretta”. Follow along as the narrator Maria Laveau leads us through a tragic love story. One set in the underbelly of society.
You think you know this story, but this one is different…as the lyrics warn us. See, Loretta, a strong self-made femme fatale of sorts, let’s the dedicated soul bending powers of stoic Tommy weaken her boundaries…or is it the other way round? In the end, will it even matter… Are this Bonnie and Clyde-esque bonded duo on a collision course…with, destiny? Or is it all just a stunning metaphor for the difficulties of an uncommon, even frowned upon, connection…
Before I say too much, check out the beauty of the illustrated art deco stylings of the Twitchy Pixel created film below. And if you’re a fan of Tricky, Portishead, and/or Goldfrapp then add this one to your ride or die playlist.
