I done kicked 'em out!

Slipped Disc - Lizzy Mercier Descloux

Dat bass! I just heard this shit for the first time last night, very loudly, and having that blasting gyroscope of a bassline churning beneath a rotating cavalcade of strings, weird little guitar jibberings, oohs, ahhs, and, of course, french accented singing was enough to send any hamster scurrying off to the internets to hear it again, and again, and again... The song was apparently written by the bassist, Phillipe Lemongne, who unfortunately seems to be on nothing else, much to the detriment of funk. Now I am going to check out the rest of this album, Mambo Nassau, 'cause that shit was recorded in the Bahamas.

EDIT: Also, does that crazy ass skittery drumbeat not prefigure that Low End Theory skittery drum steez? (and contemporaneous craziness like this)
