Check out KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune to listen to our new single “Tabu,” written for the chorus by Van Dyke Parks (best known for co-writing the album Smile with Beach Boy Brian Wilson).
“Tabu” is a flirtatious and percussive throwback, with a bewitching melody and bustling rhythm section that supports Van Dyke Park’s trademark lyrical wordplay and love of world music. The prolific Parks initially penned the tune in 1988, and credits The Silver Lake Chorus for taking it “outta the ignominy of [his] dusty vaults” where it received an enthusiastic second life. Give it a listen and look for “Tabu” wherever music is sold and streamed.
