Brand new Backini 7"..Out Now!

Backini’s new single ‘Victoria Falls’ brings us to the dark world of that master of higher intelligence Stephen Hawking and introduces us to one of the many weird and wonderful characters that populate the upcoming album ‘re:creation’. Tipping a cap to such masters of the art as Serge Gainsbourg and Francis Lai, Backini animates the former toaster-dating Victoria’s lusty love letter into a majestic track that manages to be at once poignant, classy and tongue-in-cheek-y;

Available in very limited edition 7” with a full colour pic sleeve these will fly so get yours from the shop now. For those of you with ipods and the like and who have no interest in wax whatsoever you can also download it from those nice folks at Beathut. Just follow the button link in the shop.

“Take the quirky cut ‘n’ paste antics of the Avalanches and DJ Yoda, throw in the soulful, melodic touches of RJD2 and sprinkle a bit of electro into the mix and you’re somewhere close to the weird and often wacky world of Backini” – Future Music.

“ ‘Phantom of the Opera’ meets ‘ I fell in love with a starship trooper’, starring a robot songstress ‘Playing kiss chase in outerspace!” DMC.

“Backini has his own inimitable loungecore way with the professor of maths” – DJ Mag.

“Backini is quite possibly mad, is without a doubt incredibly, darkly creative and makes the greatest glitch sex pop that fizzes and spits like a much needed Alkazelter after a night on the sticky beer covered rock tiles” – Blowback.
