Sycco – Monkey Madness

Sycco — aka Sasha McLeod, the 22-year-old First Nations singer, songwriter, and producer has followed up on the announcement of her debut LP Zorb (out 23rd August) with another track off the album called ‘Monkey Madness’, out now via Future Classic.

As Zorb combines dizzying hyper-pop with acid-fried garage rock, ‘Monkey Madness’ becomes the record’s poster child. A high-octane track complete by relentless drum breaks and syrupy auto-tune vocals, ‘Monkey Madness’ lives in a world between King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s fever dreams and PinkPantheress’ danceability.

Speaking of the track, Sycco says: “I wrote ‘Monkey Madness’ after having a few drinks with my friends Yari (my housemate) and Paddy (my drummer), and we decided to go to my studio that I had set up in my garage. We made it just for fun and were sampling our voices to sound like synths, which are still in there. When Jeremy [Chrome Sparks] and I were working on the album, I showed him ‘Monkey Madness’ and he instantly said we had to work on it. It didn’t change too much from the original demo. I’m so keen to play this live, I want people to open the pit!”
