Welp
Here’s the new album from South African hip-hop/rave/zef group Die Antwoord for you to stream this week, because I know that you wanted something really strange after that great Super Bowl weekend. No really though, this thing goes to even weirder levels compared to their last album in 2010, $0$. Stream it at 3voor12. I just want to let you know, before you listen, be careful. It’s really weird.
Have a nice day!
Woo! New Neon Indian video!
This time it’s directed by Adult Swim animator Lilfuchs, who looks like he has something to do with Adult Swim’s Superjail or something. Anyways, it’s a crazy homage to 80’s cartoons and commercials, featuring a woman with HUGE breasts, pink hair, a rad ride, some male minions and a funny ending. I’d check this thing out. Mmmm… Tastes like the 80’s.
Have a radical day!
It’s an all sorts of badass kind of morning!
First we had the Neon Indian video now this? Excellent. Well, this video is as badass as the song “Bad Girls,” and it features sort of dance numbers. The reason I say “sort of” is because the dancers are cars. Drifting everywhere, driving on their sides, people hanging out of the cars onto the streets. WOW. This thing is so cool, such a good job editing this thing. WATCH IT BELOW, or be seriously disappointed with your life by not watching the video.
AWWWW YEAAAAHHHH
Crazy stuff today!
This really sets high expectations off on the crazy yet genius meter of the year. What we have here is a track from Julia Holter, a solo act that has plenty of classical voice training under her belt as well as a knack for creating lush, electronic soundscapes to house her pristine voice. This one isn’t as off the wall as some of her others, but it’s still a damn fine song. Sweet as sugar vocals with icy, yet inviting, textures all around it. Delectable indeed. Check it out below!
It’s always a good day when the first thing I see online is having to do with Deerhunter. They have a new song out for Blonde Redhead’s Japan benefit compilation, We are the Works in Progress. Even though the track is instrumental and doesn’t feature Bradford Cox’s vocals, it’s still a nice, ambient buildup that pays off in the end. But seriously though, it could use some Cox up in here. That would make it.
Stream over at Pitchfork now
Have a nice day!
SO:
I decided to collect all the songs that I freaked out about in the month of January and I’m gonna put it on here. WOO. Check these bangers out!!!
NOTE: This post is MASSIVE. Take it in DOSES.
I featured John Talabot last year on the old blog with his song “Families” that featured Cameron Meisrow, AKA Glasser, a favorite of 2010 with her LP Rings. This tune is great and builds like an electronic construction site (PFFTCCHHH sorry I’ve already written four blog posts today) and features an excellent, tasty bassline. This really reminds me of 2006/7-era electro pop, which was an excellent time period for my electronic loving ears. Brilliant sound really bubbles up and out from beneath the layers that the song lays down ending in a jacuzzi-like setting of warm, pulsating jets of synth noise, bubbling up with buoyant basslines. Awesome. You can get “fIN” on iTunes and Amazon MP3 now, but the physical copy comes out on February 7th.
Yeah Jacuzzis!
My favorite band name to tell my friends about, oOoOO, is back with a new witch house jam. It’s not as intrusive as some of the previous witch house songs I’ve heard in my day, so it’s still accessible to electronic music fans alike. It’s light and airy like a powdered doughnut, but it’s spooky, like good witch house, as well. Haunted powdered doughnuts all around. Download this doughnut HERE
Have a doughnut today! They’re delicious! Or some kind of pastry. You deserve it.
Evian Christ kicked off 2012 with a bang with his song “Thrown Like Jacks” which samples one of my favorite artists from last year, Grouper, by taking her ethereal drones and adding rave like beats to it, turning a once-unsettling, low key song into a potential warehouse club banger. The UK producer now has a whole mixtape of his available for download in high quality, so I highly recommend checking that out! FREE MUSIC! WOO!
Download the mixtape HERE
Aw yeah free music yeah
Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles frontman Daniel Rossen is releasing a solo EP this year entitled Silent Hour/Golden Mile along with hopefully another Grizzly Bear LP. Previously, we had heard the great song “Saint Nothing” and now we have “Silent Song” which features more instrumentation than the former. Got me really pumped for this EP, dude! Listen to “Silent Song” below.
WOO!
