Psapp - Everything Belongs To The Sun

The "toytronica" duo reveal their first new song since their last album five years ago.

London duo Psapp (aka Galia Durant and Carim Clasmann) are back with a new track after almost five years since the release of their last album 'The Camel's Back' in 2008. They have been said to have created "toytronica" – a blend of electronica and whatever toy/makeshift instruments (whistles, mini guitars, flutes, a chicken) they can lay their hands on. This desire to not just make music traditionally but to create sounds out of non-traditional musical items is what brought Galia and Carim together when they formed Psapp 12 years ago.

The song, Everything Belongs To The Sun, is a tropically charged scorcher of handclaps and equatorial percussion, beset with vocals in the form of enigmatic, mirage-inducing mantras and a wordless chorus of richly layered voices, almost like the cooing of exotic animals. Towards the end something squeaks, a ukelele is plucked and a baby gurgles; Psapp are certainly not afraid of using some really offbeat ingredients in their creation of catchy, danceable tunes.
