Dead Obies - "Doo Wop"

This Friday, February 15th, marks the release of Quebec quartet Dead Obies' third album, DEAD. The follow-up to 2016's Polaris longlisted Montreal $ud, is due out on longtime label (and frequent RR subject) Bonsound.

I was a little lukewarm on the two previous singles dropped in advance of DEAD, but "Doo Wop" - despite not being that thing - is a jam. The bilingual hook, sung by MC Ogee Rodman takes me back to 1990s MC Solaar cuts with their Franglish blend and the beat on this cut is subtle but propulsive.
