Taken from Sehore’s second album, Husfikbur, which I assure you is an album that any discerning and broad-minded music fan should check out, “Bla bla bla (cha cha cha)” is a song that stands out as being slightly apart from the pack even on an album where nothing is quite as you might expect it to be.
It is both more groove-driven and instantly accessible than some of the songs found there, many of which err towards a Latin take on post-punk experimentalism. But if the musical timeline had been different and a band like, say, The Fall had not come from the bleak, industrial heart of Manchester, but perhaps evolved their sound playing beach bars and nightclubs in the sun-strewn towns of the western Mediterranean, then this might have been the resulting sound.
It has no lyrics beyond the title —again, a very Mark E Smith way of making a point —and so uses speech as a sort of hypnotic addition to the groove, a groove that comes at you thick and fast, fun, furious, and fantastic. In fact, this is a song that is all about the groove, the whole groove, and nothing but the groove.
And on an album where nothing is quite what it seems, from an artist who won the Silver Medal, for the song ‘Pesadilla,’ at the 2025 Global Music Awards, no less, the fact that “Bla bla bla (cha cha cha)” seems to have nothing to say speaks volumes.
“Bla bla bla (cha cha cha)” was recorded at Paco Loco Studio and mastered at Kadifornia by Mario G. Alberni.
