Boy God has just released its latest single, "NYC Streets,” a collaboration with poet James Berkowitz, inspired by his eponymous poem. The score synthesizes a mix of musical styles evocative of NYC, from the congas of Boy God’s native Cuba, to Indian tablas and African percussion. Electric guitars echo sirens, saxophones and turntables. And the composition evokes NYC's kaleidoscopic, kinetic and funky cityscape. Meanwhile, James’s spoken-word vocals channel the stark readings of poets like Jim Carroll, Allen Ginsberg and Lou Reed.
