The Scribes are a brilliant hip hop band from Bristol, and they just dropped a track and video \u201cHaunted House Party\u201d, all recorded and edited during lockdown. There is so much I can say about this, under normal circumstances, you could imagine a slick video for this but as indie artists are taking control of their own destiny, the DIY element of this works really well – glitchy effects, performing to a cast of of animated cuddly toys who essentially are not animated but being controlled by what I assume are the band. I love this. It\u2019s set up in a bedroom turned club and each MC takes their turn to deliver their bars – the glitchy effects really work for me, a real disruptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s talk about the track. And what a track. The beat is slick, which is a great straight the verses, are rapid fire, this coming from a band who made me stop in the middle of the street when I heard a bar about Eastenders. It\u2019s got a boom bap beat, pitched down vocals, giving you that \u201chaunted, ghostly\u201d effect, and really gives it an otherworldly feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My verdict? Another banger. Keep it coming gents. Check out our interview here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
