We dare you not to fall for this jangly guitar pop gem from Bokito, a blossoming quintet from London. A touch of the tropics imbues How Dare You, a carefree and breezy indie rocker. The catchy, sun-kissed delight is the band’s fourth single. The motif laden music video for How Dare You is Bokito’s first visual release, too. According to the band on YouTube, How Dare You is a celebration of finding someone that matches your madness in a relationship. Grab the winsome tune, here. You can check out more of Bokito’s music on Soundcloud, here.

Fusing angular art rock and lilting high-life melodies into their uniquely danceable tropical indie sonics, ‘Love Gotten’ finds Bokito in a reflective mood, lyrically at least. The song is, explains singer Moses, “about desperately rushing into a new relationship when your heart has in no way healed. And the true selfishness that goes with hurting good people as a result.”

Sorry I can't hear you over how excited I am that WE'RE GOING TO THE ZOO TODAY

Reflecting the dislocation and identity drift of diaspora across the globe, ‘Aloof’ was penned by Bokito frontman Moses after his siblings followed him to London in search of employment. Their growing desire to move back home was tempered by a sense of not feeling welcome there any more. "It's not a specifically angry or political song but rather just about a feeling that Ireland will never really feel like home again, or at least that's how it seems currently," says Moses.

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.”
