Months ago, I was incredibly exhilarated when Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground released “Diggin’,” the debut single of its second self-titled album. Whether indicative of the band’s truly remarkable sophomore effort or my own poor writing merit, I find “Diggin’” to be largely indescribable. Like previous Kay Kay works, it aptly blends so many musical elements and themes that the listener is found questioning how many songs the track truly contains, and whether its play-time (3:55) is a crude under-estimation.

Much like the band’s first single, “Hey Mama,” “Diggin’” carries the unique air of a song that was never meant to end, a quality this fan most closely associates with “Good Vibrations” and “Paranoid Android.” Given the band’s previous efforts and this solid release, I dare say Kay Kay’s strong commitment to dynamic sound may earn it a permanent place amongst such esteemed company.
