SUNDAY CLASSIC GTC: VIDEO/SINGLE, HAIKU HANDS – Not About You [Elgusto, producer]
Haiku Hands – Not About You is available at Bandcamp.
by Walter Price
I did something totally out of my comfort zone the other day. As the car next to me was rocking this undeniably addictive track for two stoplights, I asked the driver what it was. Turns out, It was the funky “Not About You” by Australian art collective Haiku Hands.
BRAND NEW SUMMER 2020 JAMZ FROM HAIKU HANDS
Fashion Model Art (feat. Sofi Tukker)
As you’ll witness below and comparisons all the rage, this outfit is a blended concoction reminiscent of Icona Pop, a more pleasant Die Antwoord, bits of True Vibenation, and Deee-Lite, and a whole lotta girrrl power. With that said, the simple fact is this track, is a banging track that has hips and heads uncontrollably swiveling and bopping. Nice.
It’s not about you
Shut up
It’s not about me either
I am my sisters’ keeper
Chiiiiilllllllllllll
It’s not about you
Shut up
It’s not about me either
It’s us verse the grim reaper
Chill, Chill, Chill, Chill
Your summer playlist just got an unapologetic bump of thump. And it just may cause you to talk to strangers in traffic, which is weird.
