Premiere: Listen: Ava Luna Stream ‘Sears Roebuck M&Ms’ Track

Picture the scene. Walking out of town in a creepy suburb previously unencountered, you stumble on a cornerstore. Complete with the customary smokes, beers and gum, there’s a series of miscellaneous objects in the window. A pack of cards, an old-school mobile phone, a collection of Nicolas Cage DVDs. It’s interesting enough to be worth a visit. Once in there, the shopkeeper springs straight out of his chair. Out comes a group of strangers clamouring to get your attention. They bring instruments with them, and they start playing a song. Talk centres around ‘the new sweet thing’, which they brag on about with more maddening sincerity by the second. It repeats and repeats with blistering pace. That’s the new Ava Luna song, in sum.

‘Sears Roebuck M&Ms’ is a ghettoblasting, funk-trotting highlight from the Brooklyn group’s new album ‘Electric Balloon’. It’s a jostling, jiving number that’s fresh out of the oven. Sharply executed, the whole thing begins minimally because veering off on its own brilliant tangents. If ever experimental methods went to extremes and still managed to hold a tune, this is it.

DIY’s delighted to have the first play of ‘Sears Roebuck M&Ms’. Listen below.
