Basement Jaxx chronology

Scars is the fifth studio album by the British dance/electronic duo Basement Jaxx, released on September 21, 2009.^[1] It was preceded by the first single "Raindrops" released on June 21, while the second single "Feelings Gone" was also released in the United Kingdom on September 21. The track "Twerk" features lyrics adapted from Michael Sembello's song "Maniac".

In an interview, Felix Buxton stated that the album Scars were all the things that the band had been through emotionally and physically. Felix told Rolling Stone Australia they named the album 'Scars' after he was mugged for his bicycle in Brixton, London in 2008. He revealed: "I wasn’t badly hurt but it scared me. It’s probably one of the scariest moments of my life. Scars are the things that stay with you and that incident definitely gave me one."^[2]
