5 years ago, Bro Safari & UFO! teamed up to bring us Animal. The 10 track album pushed the boundaries of the trap and bass genres and helped set the tone for the future. Today, they pick up right where they left off with ‘N.U.M.B’. The release feels like a resurrection of Animal’s title track, embodying much of the track’s sound while still pushing boundaries some 5 years later.
‘N.U.M.B’ presents listeners with a dark and eerie backdrop. The moon is full, dark spells are being cast and primeval beasts roam with clenched teeth and fierce growls. Animals feast on flesh in the first drop as the darkness becomes overwhelming. The sound of flies circling a skeleton closes the scene and readies us for act two. Crickets creep in for an unsettling calm. The underlying tension envelopes into another wild scene, this time with a jungle infused air. Frogs creak and monkeys cry out as bass pulses from all directions. Things begin to settle as ‘N.U.M.B’ drifts into its finale but subconsciously you know this is just the beginning.
‘N.U.M.B’ is the first single off of Bro Safari & UFO!’s upcoming collaborative project Clockwork. The project will be released in multiple parts with Clockwork (Pt. 1) dropping 8/24, Clockwork (Pt. 2) out on 9/7, and the full project coming to us on 9/21. Considering the impressive sound of ‘N.U.M.B’ and their track record, we are in for something special.
