While it may be one of the lesser concerns when preparing to have sex, music can play a role in making or breaking the mood. Of course, if you spend half the evening combing through your vast record collection, and the only sound you’re likely to hear is that of your lover walking out the door.

Boinkology wants you to get laid, so we’re taking the guesswork out and giving you our own handpicked selections of the latest and greatest new tracks to download and get down to. Every Friday, Camille Acey brings you BoinkMusic: music you don’t know, but should definitely be fucking to.

I have been waiting for the Dragons of Zynth album for ages. Aku and Akwetey, the fraternal twin brothers who front the band, are locals in my old neighborhood, and some of the most wildly talented people I know. After attending countless shows, I had no doubt that the album would rock, but what I didn’t expect is that it would also groove and slink. This album proves that the band were inspired not just by hard rockers like Bad Brains but also soul pioneers like Isaac Hayes and Al Green who knew that political consciousness didn’t mean giving up the sexy.

Specimen: Dragons of Zynth – Closer

Description: An eight and a half minute epic rock jam in which the slamming guitar of the opening cuts gives way to a funky groove, intermittent chimes, echoey flute, and gorgeous harmonizing.

Hypothesis: In many East Asian cultures, dragons are a symbol of good luck. We’re pretty sure these Dragons could help you get lucky.
