Our buddy, Jesse D’Kora, will be gracing us with a new track every month this year and this month’s offering can be a trip down memory lane for some of you! New track, “Cricket,” isn’t about dear old Jiminy but about a favored pastime of many!
Soaring with his signature shoegaze meets lo-fi indie-rock sound, D’Kora delves into his favorite sport of cricket while reminiscing on all the memories the sport has gifted him throughout his life.
“Sometimes, you just have to write a song about your favourite sport, don’t you? I mean with the world in such a rough place it’s the little distractions that can bring you that joy and an escape,” shared D’Kora. “Which is essentially a deeper way of saying, I like cricket so I wrote a song about it. Inspired partly by memories of going to see England play and partly by the family impact it has had – my grandad loved it, my dad loves it, me and my brother love it.”
“Musically, it is as bitesize as the come, it’s over 200bpm, less than 3 minutes, and it’s a good old pow pow pow and finish. It’s got the jangly guitars and pushing drums that are synonymous with my sound. It’s totally uncomplicated – perhaps in juxtaposition with the game of cricket – but it’s the way I like it.”
