Tokoloshe's latest release, "U.F.O." is a weird, trance-like escape from loneliness, with its refrain of "Where did it go? / Where did it go? / Where did it go? / My UFO". In the song, he wonders about leaving the people he knows, the sights he knows, and replacing them with a private world above the noise. "Now I live all alone / Up in my UFO" establishes the distance as strangely serene, the stars as a throne view. It's a funny, fuzzy, and fragile idea. "U.F.O." seems to be dancing away from everything we know, finding freedom in a world completely apart from the everyday.
