The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – “Do The Get Down”
It’s amazing how quickly the great ’90s garage honkers in the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion went from a festival-reunion attraction to becoming, once again, a working band. The JSBX just announced their second album since they got back together a few years ago. The follow-up to 2012’s Meat And Bone has the great title Freedom Tower – No Wave Dance Party 2015, and the band is calling it “a document of New York City, a chronicle of grit and terror and love.” The promising first single “Do The Get Down” finds the band flirting with the same funk and hip-hop sounds they played around with on 1994’s Orange, which is, for my money, their best album. It comes with a video, edited by Allen Cordell, that jumbles together a series of iconic NYC images. Check out the single and the album’s tracklist below.
