Two Fingers feat. Sway - That Girl

The new single by Two Fingers and their cohort Sway is the crazy, crazy ‘That Girl’ that’s going off the rails with a couple of heavy remixes.

Warming up for the forthcoming gigs next week, Two Fingers and Sway return with one of the best tracks from the Two Fingers album, mostly due to the clever lyrics by Sway. It’s the tales of the “crazy, crazy” girlfriend whose favourite colour is “navy, navy” who wants to be in the “navy, navy”! O.K. we’ll let that one go as it’s a laugh.

The tight radio edit is supplied by Toddla T collaborator and former Fat Trucker, Ross Orton (watch out for Toddla’s forthcoming album Skanky Skanky but what is truly “crazy, crazy” is the warp speed drum ‘n’ bass mix from Spor that races for well over 5 minutes (you need your energy drinks for that one). And on the download, the Big Dada boys turn to High Rankin (he of Shuttle’s ‘Tunnel’ and Pop Levi’s ‘Dita Dimoné’) that keeps it on the low down before exploding with old-skool arcade game.

You’ll recall that the main stays of Two Fingers are Amon Tobin and Joe “Doubleclick” Chapman who teamed up in Montreal after meeting in Brighton. MOBO-winner Sway (now signed to Akon’s Konvict label in the US) got wind of what they doing and ‘That Girl’ was one of the first they collaborated on.

Stripped of vocals, the instrumental glows with Two Fingers’ “room-shaking drum break with cartoon guitar riffs” but Sway steels the show with his high speed delivery that’s seems fuelled by sophisticated multi-coloured alcopops and multi-coloured pills; what a tease - crazy, crazy!
