Iceland – the new France. Gus Gus – the new Jimi Tenor. So inspired were the band by former Warp ‘artiste’ and ultra morphic polycrooner, Jimi Tenor that they provided him with a remix of his own song ‘Call Of The Wild for public consumption. As it is, Tenor was dropped before it could hit the shelves and the band just kept holding on to it.
Re-recorded with new vocals by Earth, the track finally made it onto the Underwater released ‘Attention’ album, complete with ghostly Tenor backing vox still groaning on the background
Hot, sweaty and timed pretty craftily for a summer release, ‘Call Of The Wild’ is everything you could imagine of sizzling and squidgey autoerotic house, thanks to Earth’s ethereal vocal and the masturrly choice of simmering hi-hat.
