Mad Rooter / Ghost Rider

Australian duo Party Dozen — a feral blast of noise-funk chaos championed by Nick Cave and Amyl and The Sniffers — return with “Mad Rooter”. Built without a click track, it lurches and struts with wild, off-grid swagger, featuring a sax solo that channels late-night TV energy. Gritty samples from a battered, half-broken guitar add raw texture to a track that’s ten feet tall and gives zero f*cks. And that’s only the first hit: it’s followed by an insanely good cover of the Suicide classic “Ghost Rider.” It’s the cherry on top of this double-whammy.
