New Music: The Internet - 'Roll (Burbank Funk)'
The Internet brings the funk. The group, consisting of Syd, Matt Martians, Patrick Paige II, Christopher Smith, and Steve Lacy, delivers their newest single “Roll (Burbank Funk),” and its accompanying video.
Directed by Joe Weil, the visual plays out like a funky old school performance with psychedelic special effects intertwined, while the ’70s disco-funk record takes inspiration from Earth Wind & Fire and Deee-Lite.
“Listen to your heart,” croons Lacy. “What’s it saying? … Let your heart flow / Let your heart flow.”
Since debuting with Purple Naked Ladies in 2011, the group has released 2013’s Feel Good and 2015’s Ego Death. Starting in June, they will head out on the road for a series of dates.
