Creative and colourful Folk Punk with a twist of anthemic indie rock – disco partisan celebrates the variety and wonder of the world, with the unforgettably genuine and melodically addictive new single That’s life.
From the EP of the same name, That’s life showcases an artist with a distinctly raspy, nostalgic punk vocal style, backed up by a unique fusion of Reggae rhythms, riding bass, and retro organ-esque keys. Weave in a few reverb-soaked electric guitar moments, some additional instrumental adlibs, and a chorus that brings everyone together for a huge expression of acceptance and unity, and That’s life turns out to be a fairly timeless, festival-ready gem of a hit.
Mellow verses pave the way, lyrics uncertain but the tune and instrumentation always joyful, before a choir of voices almost chants the title and hook to us – in a way that makes clear how enjoyable and uplifting this would be in the live setting.
The rest of the That’s life project follows suit in terms of the genre freedom, this Folk-meets-Ska approach to organic and colourful music. Think Sublime with a twist of The Pogues, only here we get stories and sentiments, structural songwriting and musical freshness, that all proves true to the disco partisan approach.
Consider the likes of Antisocial Poetry and the closing track Tears and Blood, as examples of the depth of the writing, the poignancy and relevance, and the versatility of disco partisan as a creative act. The sound is unmistakable once it’s crossed your path. An easy must for the summer months.
