about

Knovo are back with their second single, Dizzy Kong, a funky romp of nostalgia and fleeting sentiments. After releasing their debut single “Fake” and performing a few shows, Knovo went into isolated lockdown like everybody else. Fortunately, the Dizzy Kong recording sessions happened before the quarantine, and the band worked remotely to wrap up the finishing pieces and arrangements. Dizzy Kong features Tula Pisano on vocals and is just the upbeat dash of positivity needed right now.

The band really hit their stride on Dizzy Kong, the track is filled with blips, bleeps and flourishes galore. Each section is like another level on a video game, and hold on for the bonus round! There's a full breakdown that is nearly 8-bit, save for the throwback metal guitar riff that comes looming.

The vocals of Tula Pisano create a carefree and hopeful mood as she remembers youthful days playing with her brother. “Bumblebees and rumblings, on the track to better things” is the the vibe throughout, its a fun tune. Each of her verses is accentuated with exceptional keyboards, or drums, but never too much at one time. Dizzy Kong comes off with a pulsing rhythm, whimsical feeling and some smooth vocal arrangements.

lyrics

Dizzy Kong Lyrics:

I can still envision every movement, a controller in my hands
Jump up and down until we land
You and I were never made for morning, singing sweetly for the sun
And now I know it’s just begun, we’ve just begun and...

I’ve got a dizzy heart that just takes up my mind no matter what
And now I don’t know where I’ve gone
I’m going back if just in my, my mind as it remembers why
What once was loved just can’t be wrong

Dizzy kong goes round and round all night

If I’d only see you now, it would all come back somehow
Like not a moment’s gone by…you and I
Bumblebees and rumblings, on the track to better things
Late nights and no cares at all…and I fall

I could never ever wake for sunrise, but I’ll stay up all night long
The moon, she sings a different song
One that only those who understand it, have a hope to play the game
The moon, she calls and screams my name and cleanses the shame and...
