The Streets by Ben Cannon
The Streets album is due out on October 20th.
Mike Skinner has released another single from The Streets‘ forthcoming album The Darker The Shadow, The Brighter The Light.
The LP is being accompanied by a first feature film of the same name from Skinner, and he’s said Too Much Yayo was a cornerstone for both mediums:
“Too Much Yayo is the first song on the album and it really is the focus of the first key scene in my film.”
The film is set in nightclubs, places I’ve spent many nights over the past few years DJing and performing. Obviously, clubs, music and drugs all go hand in hand – and the song really is about setting the scene before the story starts to unfold – we’ve all been in clubs like this and either been the liability or seen the liability.
“This is one of the beats that really reacted when I was playing it out in DJ sets before it became a song. That’s how I tested out things for this album – it really helps you understand what people react to and feel.”
