Parallel Dance Ensemble - Possessions

With an almost Grandmaster-ish early 80s style rap on the futility of  chasing 'things', and some gorgeous flashes of lushness (love that sax) against an almost lo-fi straight disco electro-beat, Parallel Dance Ensemble have given us something with recognizable roots, but original...and with a hook that could work on the radio. Parallel Dance Ensemble is the very talented Auckland MC/disco artist Coco Solid (previously on this blog in her Badd Energy incarnation), and Bobbi Sox (Danish LA-based producer Robin Hannibal). First listen didn't grab me but I was hooked by the second. The video was directed by Carthew Neal with "Concept & Creative Inspiration" from Reuben Paterson. Director of Photography was Simon Temple. You can find out more about Coco Solid at the link below.
