eat it for breakfast.
ok..first, this is a repost from my Myspace Blog.
I'm here to tell you about 4 albums/artists that are currently tearing my head apart. These are discs I can't get enough of, and I'm warning you now - this shit is addictive.
Black Moth Super Rainbow : Start a People
Site.
Whoah. Imagine, if you will, that Acid Mothers Temple lived in a hash factory and only listened to Boards of Canada and woke up one morning with a vocoder in their pants, and were like, "hey man...let's, y'know...rock n shit." Then they called up the ghosts of Frank Zappa & Mary Hansen (stereolab) and got all hippy jammin'. This album is surreal, uplifiting, briliiant and then some. They have a new split CD coming out with The Octopus Project, which should be NUTZ.
Mates of State : Bring it Back
Site.
Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel are married. and hot. and make the most sweet, uplifting, harmonic and delicious pop this side of Belle & Sebastien. I've been a big fan of the 'Mates for years, and thought they would have trouble emerging from a sound they built from their first record and solidified with "Team Boo", a crashy & cacaphonous pop attack...but they've cleaned it up, put the vocals through weird 'can' filters and discovered the use of..gasp! STEREO. get it. soon. You won't regret it.
Drosstik Records / DJ C64
Label site
Now, I know people's taste for breakcore is limited at best - people think of Venetian Snares or Hrvatski or early Kid606 and get thrown off...too noisy, too brash, too loud, too violent. Hate the haters, I suppose.
But then there is DJ C64, a kid from Toronto with MAD FUCKING SKILLS. Click HERE for a set of live mixes...might i reccomend the first mix, live in Bristol last year...at about 40:00 minutes, he drops a massively sped-up version of "Chittagong Chill" by State Of Bengal...IN-fucking-SANE.
TV On The Radio : Untitled
Band Blog. Band Site.
OK, I admit it. I have a copy of the unreleased, untitled, unmastered, NEW TV On The Radio album. It's brilliant, and David Bowie is on it. Since the last disc, Tunde Adebimpe and friends have been working with Prefuse 73, producing for Celebration and generally working on growing more, awesome hair. The new record is more...focused and dark than their previous effort, "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babies"...less oompah, more oomph. Less goofy, more...thoughtful. It's good. When it comes out, get it...
...and that's it. Thanks for your attention span. if you love these too, holla!
