The Darcys just released their reimagining of Steely Dan’s classic album Aja, and from it, they’ve made a video for the song “Josie.”
“With ‘Josie,’ we wanted to create an ominous mood to close the record,” Wes Marskell recently told Rolling Stone on their version of the song. “The Steely Dan version plays like a breezy pop song about a beautiful girl, but the lyrics hint at violence and reckless abandon. Who is Josie to incite all of this? And where has she been? We loved the incongruity between Steely Dan’s feel and lyrical content, but our goal was to subvert the original by undermining that polarity.”
