3.0 good | TheManMachine | October 19th 15 | The a-side follows the title to a novel T and wouldn't seem out of place on a Donkey Kong Country soundtrack -- the second song's exploratory jungle romp trumps the first's cruise line ad fodder, but both instrumentals are mellifluously rich and organic enough to persuade even the most hard-nosed cynics that they're not just sojourning in some exotic domain, but are full-on frolicking alongside cackling monkeys. Still, it's the kind of curiosity-listen best reserved for uber-specific contexts: blanket-wrapped on a frigid winter night with the heat cranked while dreaming of warm days to come, en route to a sunny haven as a sort of pre-game pump-up. So the subtler b-side's probable ability to fly on any ol' garden variety non-island-themed release comes as open-ended relief -- with mellifluous richness kept in tact, and some light bird-tweets to keep you company.
