Coming from two of Janelle Monae’s collaborators, the music of Deep Cotton is, not surprisingly, rather giddily all over the map – eccentric pop and punk and funk with a defiant sensibility even as it smilingly skips down the road toward musical comedy. It’s the work of Chuck Lightning and Nate Wonder, who with Monae co-founded the Wondaland Arts Society collective. Deep Cotton recently released “Fixtape” as a free download and this week unveiled the video for “We’re Far Enough From Heaven Now We Can Freak Out.” In the mini-drama (wink), a group of women known as the Scum Warriors – bent on destroying all males – capture Wonder and Lightning, who have to improvise to save their lives. “Who can cook? / Who can clean? / Who will paint the fence?” Indeed, have some fun with this one, and check out the Talking Heads-meets-TV on the Radio single “Runaway Radio.”
