Song of the Day: May 22, 2020 - "In the Jungle" by Malcolm and the Moonlight
You may have seen Malcolm Holt. behind the drums in bands like Gay Nineties, Blonde Diamond/Youngblood, Art D’ecco, and Fake Shark-Real Zombie! But while he’s been at home these last few months, he’s brought back his solo project Malcolm and the Moonlight.
“In the Jungle” is the first single from his up coming EP, and he describes it as “an escapist reflection of wanting to leave everything behind and return to the jungles of Colombia where he and his fiancée Alexis Young (Blonde Diamond/Youngblood) vacationed just prior to the pandemic.”
Both the song and the video were recorded entirely in the couple’s home, with Holt writing, recording, and engineering the music, and Young providing backup vocals as well as directing the video “using only elements found at home — like an old Sony Hi8 camera, a video projector, and Phillips Hue lighting.”
