Listen: Organised Scum - "Baby, You're An Actant"
The justifiably ballyhooed news of Blur’s return provides a nifty backdrop to inane Cambridge’s loafers, Organised Scum’s latest single, “Baby You’re An Actant”.
Self-professedly written after gorging on Prince’s “Raspberry Beret” (oh, we’re really scratching a certain Best Fit editor’s itch now, though its influence is dubious) “Baby, You’re An Actant” falls between latter day Pavement/current day Stephen Malkmus and mid-period Blur which, from the sounds of it, is where Damon & Co have picked up from as well.
Frontman Tom Duggins still sounds uncannily like Albarn spinning the same types of everyday life absurdist narratives as can be found on The Great Escape, propelled along on a Kinks-ian lope glazed over with Pavement-like fuzz. It’s smart, crafty, lazy, and stoopid all rolled up in a nice delectable three-minute Matzah ball.
Organised Scum plans on dropping their next release, an EP, later this month so, more to come…
