The latest track from Berlin-based Jess Brett recounts the primal energy of a new relationship, filled with excitement, anticipation and potential.

The song is delivered over a relentless EBM stomp, offset by a prowling bass line and swirling monophonic melody that uses a synth sound that could have been borrowed from the first Yazoo album.

Brett sets the song in a San Francisco tiki bar where the cocktail that gives the track its title – a massive sharing punch that fuses the almond flavour of the Mai Tai with the mind-numbing alcohol levels of the Long Island Iced Tea – acts as a trigger for the ensuing wild, hedonistic love / lust story.

The one-off single follows Brett’s brilliant EP, Belle Of The Ball, her first long-form release since moving to Berlin, representing an evolution of her sound toward something sharper and more decisive.

‘Scorpion Bowl’ by Jess Brett was released February 14 2026.

 Shhh…. Jess will release ‘A Baby With Your Name’, the next chapter of her San Francisco adventures, through Mortality Tables on February 20 2026.
