Tracka de Day: Total Warr "Sidibabaoué"


July heat waves beam down this exclusive single "Sidibabaoué" from Parisian indie-afroists Total Warr. In today's Tracka De Day, the filter soaked beat-driven guitar radiates a sun drenched symphony- a tune that could be described as a South African inspired melody. Listening to this track feels a lot like swimming with these manatees pictured above or the perfect fire hydrant waterfall soundtrack. Enjoy the sunny vibes.
