Wotts are known for their creativity and unpredictability that surpasses listeners’ anticipation, but “6 Shooter” is undoubtedly next level. After hearing The Desert Island Big Band’s initial version of “Six Shooter,” Wotts’ re-imagination feels like a variant from another universe stumbled upon our own. It’s quite shocking to see how far the duo could direct from the material. They have drive it into something so completely different while adhering to the core aesthetic of what makes a “Six Shooter” six shooter.

In Wotts’ sonic world, sultry psychedelic visions become the remote island of retreat to escape an overly politicalized world, a similar world in which The Desert Island Big Band seek as a La La Land in his music. In “Six Shooter,” DIBB goes back in time and taps into the vintage 1970 aesthetic, which Wotts then approached it from a whole new perspective.

“Six-Six shooter gun, locked up in a glove box from 1971” is filled with the traces of early 70s rock n roll. Wicked guitar licks remind you of the highs and lows. It brings the best from a previous era into modern day production. It’s surreal because the collapse of past and present simply doesn’t exist in the reality, but that’s what The Desert Island Big Band seems to create in the original version of “Six Shooter.” Wotts brought something back from he 70s as well, it was a time of Wah-wah pedals when bands and musicians like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix were exploring on a psychedelic quest. It reminds you of the blooming music scene during that time. It saw its best players, whose influences still flow and breathe among today’s music creations.

It’s simply brilliant how Wotts approaches the song. They claim the complete creative freedom in “6 Shooter” and allow their imagination and voices to speak for themselves, taking shape in unexpected ways. It’s not “Six Shooter” but in a way, it still is.

Even the spinning retro sensation stirs a modern indie pop dream that seem to be an ever-evolving theme. In there, the melodies have gone through a psychedelic tunnel and came out in another dimension with brand new outlooks.
