If Jungle’s debut album was the soundtrack to your summer then there’s a danger that come autumn and winter as the heat fades it will slide away and be forgotten, particularly in an age when the likes of easy-streaming means that our relationship with music is turning into a polygamous one. There’s always something new and fresh vying for our attention. However, here’s something that might give it a bit of extra longevity amongst the many musical f*cks that are to be had out there in the world of the big sexy bad dangerous internet. It’s via a live cover by Breaking More Waves regulars / favourite (since 2012) The Night VI, who’ve recorded a stripped back version of Drops. It does both bands lots of favours. There’s something irresistibly reassuring about Sophie-Rose Harper’s voice in all of The Night VI’s music, but particularly on songs like this where her royal throatage (is that a word, probably not – who cares ?) is allowed to breathe a little more in amongst the organic sounds.
The band will soon be announcing the release of another EP, which will (hopefully) give us the opportunity to swoon some more. For now though this will do very nicely thank you.
