CHUMBAWAMBA Homophobia



Right, forget what you've read about this band or what you've heard. They've done a number of excellent electro-folk slashtrack albums that are usually stained with political lyrics and always absolutely stunning. This comes from their Homophobia EP/Anarchy LP and recalls what a ballad actually should be. There have been tons of club remixes done of this song but we prefer the stripped down original.

They cite Madonna, Kylie and Karl Marx in their FAQ praising the aforementioned ones for deconstructing the "heteronormative" and "paternal" hegemonies in Western society. Pop needs its polemics now and then.
