AccidFerry Get Groovy With New Single “Monkey Dance”
Liverpudlian prog-rockers AccidFerry released their latest single, “Monkey Dance,” on November 4th. The band describes the track as “a laid-back groove that [lead guitarist/vocalist] Krawczyk had hidden in his closet for 10 years.” It is all that and more.
According to AccidFerry’s Facebook, “Monkey Dance” will be used to kick off gigs, and I can’t think of a more perfect intro. The song hits the ground running, a simple funky beat setting the tone for what’s to come. Quickly joined by matching bass and guitar, the band builds a groove that is sure to get listeners moving.
The lyrics reiterate the statement the music seems to be making, encouraging the listener to move all night long and promising to “keep the groove alive” – a vow that is delivered throughout the entire 4:04 run time.
The standout portion of “Monkey Dance” for me began at 2:39. AccidFerry throws in a guitar solo, followed by a bass-heavy breakdown and a brief jam session to close out the track. I was definitely feeling the retro vibes for the final 1:25 of the song.
Overall, “Monkey Dance” is a fun and catchy track that will have you dancing and shamelessly singing along. The talent among this group of musicians is undeniable, and while the solo is the most obvious, there are a lot of interesting things deftly woven into the bigger picture. (Pay attention to that bass!)
You can listen to “Monkey Dance” on Spotify, or whatever your favorite major music platform may be. I’m also embedding the audio here, via YouTube.
And don’t forget to give AccidFerry a follow on their various socials!
