Disco-rap outfit Bungalow Collect provide the perfect sunny day soundtrack with the release of their second single this summer, ‘It Takes 2’.
Following on from their July release ‘Breathe’, the US-based Bungalow Collect are continuing full steam ahead with the release of ‘It Takes 2’, a celebration of love and duality. Euphonic trumpets meet a contemporary cool that appeals to an innovative genre-hybridity. Distinctive yet ubiquitous, the tune pioneers funky guitar lines with feel-good lyrics, offering something you just can’t help but move to.
Born out of an apartment in Brooklyn, coined ‘The Bungalow’, the band’s electricity lends to a partnership of childhood friends merging creative influences to create their joyful, vibrant sound. “In the last 10 months, we’ve seen the world react to Disco Rap”, the band explains, “with hundreds of comments praising the positive energy of our new genre, so we decided to double down on our innovative sound and make another full project of disco rap.”
With upcoming tour dates closely following their single release, the four-piece continue to spread their positive energy across the dance floors of iconic US venues. Since their formation in 2021, they’ve already acquired admirable accolades such as performing at So What! and SXSW festivals, and amassing eight million streams on their hit single, ‘Tell Me Where To Go’. Now more determined than ever to incite a music revolution, Bungalow Collect’s commitment to bringing more power to the dance floor shines through in their infectious enthusiasm, making them ones to watch within the disco-rap scene.
