[Premiere] Regal Safari x Egyptian Hip Hop – Lake

Regal Safari is an odd band name. It brings to mind Raj-era trudges round the Indian rainforest, at the end of which perhaps elephants are shot and stuffed and colonising civil servants are taken home in sedan chairs.

Egyptian Hip Hop‘s remix of ‘Lake’ draws out the linen trousered, sub-continent-pillaging vibe to exciting effect, with muted strings falling over distant percussion. It gradually opens out, growing imperceptibly, before scuttling back into the undergrowth. Someone send it to Wes Anderson, quick.
