Red Snapper - Card Trick

Lo and behold! For a new album from British ground-breaking and outstanding band Red Snapper has been announced. Hyena was inspired by the score they composed for the 1973 classic Senegalese film Touki Bouki, directed by Djibril Diop Mambety and restored recently by Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Foundation.
Ahead of Hyena‘s release on September 1st via Lo Recordings, Red Snapper got us salivating with the first funky and infectious single, ‘Card Trick’. The single, which has its own The Card Trick EP, came out last Monday and it also features remixes by Auntie Flo, Tici Taci and Rich Thair.
Now play ‘Card Trick’ again and again.
