‘Bang di Bang’ is a single that carries a great meaning with a totally novel feel to its sound and video. Reminiscent of the oddness of Air’s quirky electronics on Love 2 and 10,000Hz Legend, Energy Whores’ latest single is a gentle assault on the senses.
Based in New York, Energy Whores is a 4-piece electronica and EDM outfit that sound like very little else out there. On their latest single ‘Bang di Bang’, the outfit are going on a protest against all the bombs being dropped on innocent people all over the world especially -in their own words- the ones used to kill thousands of children every month. Musically, ‘Band di Bang’ features an adventurous composition and a driving, synth-led instrumental atmosphere that is utilized to express the group’s subdued frustration, alongside the novel lyrics.
‘Bang di Bang’ has a composition that straddles the line between energetic and angry, and the melodies are fitting to convey a similar range of feelings. The song can be safely called gentle and smooth, but there is no denying that a dark undercurrent is flowing underneath a rather composed façade.
‘Bang di Bang’ is a song about a topic that requires far more attention from artists all over the world. Well-meaning, well-said, and instrumentally and melodically engaging, Energy Whores’ latest single does a brilliant job advancing their sound, as well as their standing as humane artists with a message to deliver.
