Cassius have wheeled out soul diva Jocelyn Brown for vocal duties on this taster of their new album, on which they use a collage of samples to create laid-back dance music.
The full-length version features a peculiar introduction made up of rock guitar, but it is dispensed with on the radio edit. The result recalls Cassius' collaborator of note, Etienne de Crecy, and his method of basing counter melodies on fretless bass.
Lyrically it isn't up to much, but it is great to hear Jocelyn back, even if this material doesn't really stretch her.
