about

Psychedelia is a large umbrella and artists usually occupy a certain space under it. Such is not the case with Jaialai. The first single off their forthcoming EP “Culebra” is the upright bass-driven “Victor’s Belt”, a song that blends Afro-Cuban rhythms with snake-like guitars winding beneath nonchalant vocals that tell a tale of an armchair revolutionary that talks a good game but at the end says “it’s out of my hands”. The track signifies a step toward a heavier more psychedelic sound for the band and on “Victor’s Belt” a step onto the dance floor.

lyrics

Once in the morning leave it alone
Twice in the evening taking me home
Yeah it’s like that
Let em know why

There in the corner
Stoned to the bone
Besting an edgelord in a kimono
It’s like that
Let em know why
Hit em low
Hit em high

Tales from an armchair answering prayers
That savoir-faire is everywhere
yeah it’s like that
Let em know why
Hit em low
Hit em high
Hit em high
Let em know why

2 in the morning getting back home
I’ve got 10 alarms set now
Just in case I get lazy
It’s out of my hands
It’s like that

And it’s like that
Let em know why
Yeah it’s like that
Let em know why
