Title track “Jupiter” concludes the EP with passion. His lyrical intimacy returns at its best, as her sorrowful cry attempts to find comfort in a world of hardships. Despite being infused with light strumming of her guitar and the introduction of piano notes here and there, her vocals are put on a pedestal once again […]

The instrumentation and rhythms found in “Access Denied” are inventive and refreshing. This can be highlighted by the use of a syncopated cowbell over a 4/4 groove in the middle of the track. The cowbell is unexpected, as is the syncopation, and the execution is perfect. It’s a great track, and has drawn comparisons to […]

The first track of the EP is titled “Jinger“, which can be translated to ‘body’. It opens with a muffled, distorted drum and bass rhythm which phases around the stereo field, building up until it drops with the entrance of a heavy back-beat. The riff is reminiscent of The Prodigus, a group that have voiced […]

“Sonik” is the final original track on Music In My Mind EP, and seems to find a medium in-between “Panda Boy” and “Funky World”. The track opens with loose staccato beats and synths before the incredibly catchy lead sample comes in, “non stop, we take it up / put to the pedal to the floor […]

The EP opens and closes with “Joy“, with the latter iteration being a remix courtesy of Smash. The former version of the song kicks Tiger Warning off in style. The track begins with sparse percussive beats before the lead synth hook comes into focus. The hook takes us through the rest of the track, along with […]

What’s next for the band is uncertain, however, what’s clear is Habitats are not to forget. Friendly guys, catchy songs and loving messages.Jungles has demonstrated that simple […]

The snippet of “Skyline” is perhaps more like Jahh in his battling frame of mind. It uses an effect to make the verse rapped sound demonic. Sly and slinky, always getting away with sneaky business and no repercussions. Closer, a preview of “Foxy” is the only indication on this EP that more mainstream and modern […]

The EP does much to make the listener laugh. It’s also very experimental and, daresay, progressive. The keyboards add that little bit more atmosphere, an element perhaps neglected and, perhaps, deliberately eschewed by bands in similar genres. You could never claim the band to have the individual attributes of a super group in the mould […]

The opening track, “Dancefloor”, begins with a wall of keyboards, evoking man’s leap into the unknown, like launching into space for the first time.  

This tracks pick up the pace a bit and showcases the determination and strength that flows through Lubega’s veins. The vocals have two tones here: the aforementioned strong and independent one, coupled with the softer, carefree variety; this sends the message that tough cookies can also be sweet. The emotion builds in Lubega’s voice whilst […]
