Jenny Lewis and Serengeti debuted their second collaborative track “Vroom Vroom” along with a candid DIY video directed by Lewis. The single is available now via Lewis’ label Loves Way.
“Vroom Vroom” follows the duo’s surprise 2020 release of “Unblu.” When “Unblu” dropped, in a note to fans, Jenny and Serengeti shared their meeting and how their collaboration developed.
The statement read in part, “Jenny met Dave down a long hallway in a former Communist Media Center in East Berlin during the People Festival of 2018. Dave asked Jenny to sing on a song about Tom Selleck passing on the part of Indiana Jones. Can you imagine a world where Tom Selleck is Indiana Jones?”
Later it continued, “The result is five songs made on Jenny’s iPhone, for Dave. Beats, bass, drums, digital tanpura & topline, sent via text, ripe for Dave’s poetry. To accompany the music, Jenny made videos on her phone during the witching hours, editing while under the covers. Then Jenny texted the tracks to another People alumnus–Andrew Broder in Minneapolis—who co-produced and mixed the songs, taking them from Garageband phone music to music that gently thumps you. Music to dance around your living room in a Day-Glo bathing suit to. Music to go bananas to while watching the news & Forensic Files on mute.”
