Black Vulcanite – Ahab Vs Tarantula
by Phil Chard
New music from Black Vulcanite titled Ahab Vs Tarantula The mellow, jazzy song with reggae inflections is produced by German producer Twit One and features the vocals of the duo known as Stardust on the hook. The song sees the Mark rapping about his awkward formative years while Ali sings about his love for music while switching in and out of a reggae delivery in faux patois.
Essentially this song is very much like an episode of Seinfeld. An entertaining and well-crafted effort that you will enjoy but you will struggle to pinpoint its true motivation or subject matter. Even the song’s title is absurdly derived.
According to the group
“The SONG is called Ahab (As in Moby-Dick) VS Tarantula, a spider-whale song. You know us for our weird naming convention. The beautifully eerie artwork was crafted by our friend Romeo Sankila of Kwesu Art. “
