Another dynamite effort from The Ex!

Austin Boogie Crew, 2023. New Copy ... $6.99 9.99
A mighty nice electro groove from Father Sheed – a cut that has a bouncing bassline that sets up a groove for keyboards to follow – while vocoded vocals are served up very far down in the mix, leaving most of the "singing" of the tune to the keyboards and bass!
