The Trekkie Trax gang have been keeping busy, and thankfully they made sure “releasing new songs onto SoundCloud” remained one of the collective’s mission. Seimei & Taimei’s “Orion” is a fizzy dance track, one that swerves through several high-energy passages, but is always lithe. Listen below.
Bananafish don’t intend to write music meant to soundtrack your next trip to Sandals – it just happens to be laid back enough to do just that.
