After the release of album Never Exhale at the start of the year, DITZ return with a 9 minute new single ‘Don Enzo Magic Carpet Salesman’, and it marks a bold new direction for the band. Fierce, hypnotic and unpredictable, it captures their live energy in full force, and comes with additional track ‘Kalimba Song’. Both will be also be available on a limited edition 12” on 28 November via City Slang Records, with the first copies sold exclusively on their upcoming tour ahead of this date.
Vocalist C.A. Francis says of the new single:
“’Don Enzo’ began as a demo Jack Looker made after our touring wrapped early in the year. It started as one short movement, but after I added lyrics and sent it back, he returned it with five more minutes of music, creating a three-part structure. The song reflects my frustration with AI art – the first part reacting to the issue, the second written from the AI’s perspective, and the final section representing the last gasp of real art before being overwhelmed by artificial output.”
Francis adds regarding the B-Side:
“’Kalimba Song’ came from a hungover writing session at Brighton’s 17b studio with Jack and Sam Evans. The track grew out of layering random sounds while listening to Portishead and Massive Attack, with the Kalimba sample lifted from a minute of spontaneous noodling.”
