Jarvis Cocker joins Riton on new "sustainable banger" "Let’s Stick Around"
Riton has unveiled a collaboration between Gucci Soundsystem (his project with Ben Rymer) and Jarvis Cocker titled "Let's Stick Around", which is released to coincide with the end of the COP26 conference.
"Let's Stick Around" is, in Cocker's words, "the world's first sustainable banger", and includes lyrics that encourage action for global conservation.
Speaking about the song, which coincides with the end of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), Riton says, "I'm really excited this track is coming out during COP26. Jarv has been one of the most influential and distinctive artists to come from the UK, it's wicked to work with him. We all need to be more conscious of the carbon emissions we create in our lives and I hope Let's Stick Around can help raise awareness."
Ben Rymer adds, "Working with Jarvis and Henry has been the highlight of my very limited music career. It's been like last of the summer wine but with rave Hoover’s."
The new track marks Cocker's first outing since releasing Chansons d’Ennui Tip-Top last month, an album of French covers that arrived as a companion piece to Wes Anderson's new film The French Dispatch.
