The track, completed with an excellent choreographed video, is today’s Neu Pick.
Every weekday, DIY’s new music know-it-all Neu brings you one essential new release to get obsessed with. Today’s Neu Pick comes from Le Boom and Æ MAK.
Irish pop duo Le Boom (Christy Leech and Aimie Mallon) and fellow Dubliner Æ MAK (Aoife McCann) have teamed up on brilliantly propulsive, fun new song ‘Dancing Bug’, and its new video is today’s Neu Pick.
A wonderfully choreographed piece, the clip sits in perfect harmony with the track, a cut that bops along with playfulness at its heart.
Speaking of the new track, they say: “‘Dancing Bug’ is about falling into your bedroom after a bad day and dancing like fire to your favourite song; to escape the stuff you just had to deal with. That energy taking you off into the other world that you’re visualising as you dance.
“I’d always loved Le Boom’s live shows,” Æ MAK says of the origins of the collaboration, “myself and my mates dancing ourselves into the ground, high energy and love. Myself and Christy met at The Great Escape last year and got on like a house on fire. We were both like ‘I like your music - I like your music, cool’. We wrote Dancing Bug in a couple of hours late last year. Loved every minute.”
