Riff: The Internet – “Roll (Burbank Funk)”

Apr 27, 2018

It’s all in your heart/We’re up, so high/It’s all in your heart/I wanna fly

from Roll! (Burbank Funk) lyrics by The Internet

Just in time for summer, The Internet returns with some liquid funk. It’s got bounce and a wicked snap, the same playful vibe as Vaughan Mason & Crew but with a little more moxie. Love and courtship are the inspirations, and they’re looking to prolong the sensation for as long as they can. They’re on cloud nine, drunk on the euphoria that comes with seduction and puppy dog romance. With a high this blissful they don’t need any gimmicks or parlor tricks, just a straight forward jam that is open to all the positive vibes coming their way. No one steps to the forefront and hogs the spotlight either, it’s a unified effort that shows that despite Syd‘s solo ventures the crew itself is still as tight as ever.
