Art Vs Science’s ‘Mick Jagger With a Laser’ is a funk-infused track, diving into grimy, robotic, and endlessly catchy territory, leaving an irresistible groove that lingers in the mind – aching to one of my favourite hits of theirs.
The song’s production is a masterful fusion of funky, dirty bass lines, jarring sci-fi synths, and G-funk-inspired beats. Art Vs Science expertly blends intricate synth work and 90s-style samples, crafting a sonically rich landscape that continues to peak the interest of fans – myself/ETM included. The sci-fi imagery within the lyrics, inspired by the 1992 film Freejack, adds an epic dimension to the track, immersing listeners in a feverish story set in a 5-star hotel, entwined with a Spanish lass and the villainous Victor Vacendak wielding a deadly future super weapon.
Art Vs Science’s ‘Mick Jagger With a Laser’ stands as a testament to their continued creativity and entertaining charm, reminiscent of their first arrival on the scene. The song’s strongest aspects are around its infectious chorus, showcasing the band’s ability to weave a compelling narrative within their music.
Art Vs Science continue to show how their musical journey can evolve and impress after all these years, with ‘Mick Jagger With a Laser’ not only carrying the torch of the band’s experimental spirit but also showcasing their unmistakable talent for crafting genre-blending, unforgettable music.
