Bokito Release Debut Single, ‘Better At Getting Worse’

Bokito release debut single, ‘Better At Getting Worse’, via Lost in the Manor Records. Fans of Everything Everything and Vampire Weekend will appreciate their alt-pop sounds. ‘Better At Getting Worse’ is something of a cautionary insight to the male psyche. Frontman Moses explains: “The song is primarily aimed at men and their own handling of their emotions... and how useless most of them are at it. But we men are talented at one thing, which is suppressing everything and moulding it into a smile.”

Produced by Bradley Spencer and Alex Beitzke in London’s Fish Tank studios, and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Greg Calbi, ‘Better At Getting Worse’ is a compelling first salvo from a band who have a rich seam of ready singles in waiting.

Peddling an uproarious blend of rock, soca, funk and roots, London-based five-piece Bokito have coined a phrase for their unique genre mashup: tropical indie. Bokito take inspiration from such diverse sources as J Dilla, Jeff Buckley, Fela Kuti, Justin Timberlake and Queens of the Stone Age to bring a little of the rousing celtic spirit of Moses’ Irish homeland to London’s global soundscape.
