As the title suggests bit of an ELECTRO theme to this post.
First off, Dan Deacon's latest album Bromst due out march 24th! Luckily Gareth and i secured a cheeky Pre-release copy! we love it! For those of you new to Deacon he creates some of the craziest electro songs your ever likely to hear flipping from incredibly fast 8 bit riffs and beats, to Beautiful poppy melodies played on xylophone and a whole host of other instruments. Sort of like Hot chip with a firework up their arse, leading them to play in some sort of insane yet comprehensible frenzy.My literary abilities do not do it justice nor begin to describe how mental it is.
Secondly, Telepathe (pronounced telepathy) the wicked Brooklyn duo who's latest album came out in January i believe! They're almost like a slightly female based; bit more electronic version of yeasayer, though with some spoken word thrown in for banter's sake. Having been Produced by TV on the radio's David Sitek; it also has the style of anyone of his projects. Anyway nuff chattin. Here's the link:
Thanks to all who came down last Thursday, it was fun...
SOme music for you.
We love:
The first Metronomy album. Under-appreciated for no good reason other than the fact that it snuck under the radar before a truly brilliant scond album in 'Nights Out', "Pip Paine (Pay Back the £5000 you owe)' is wicked.
Also, have a gander at their general visual brilliance...
Next, to dig Titus Andronicus is not difficult, but of course we do it anyway:
Also, check out our boy Paul Dixon. He's our friend and a HeartBeats regular (so far!). Give him a good listen, he's gonna be bigger than Eiffel 65 (so, you know, at least averagely sized!).
But seriously, he is going to take over Manchester. Check him out soon supporting the Noisettes at The Ruby Lounge on March 14th. Don't be stupid... GO!
Okay, so everyone knows that Merriweather Post Pavillion is like the best thing since sliced bread or whatever, but I still had to post this Dave Wrangler remix. The man just keeps whipping remixes out the bag!
Their most recent album Alopecia was a bit of an underground hit with fans and critics alike last year and you can see why. This album is a gem. The lyricist is really unusual with some real surreal and seemingly out of place lines that still somehow work
"stalker's my whole style and if i get caught i'll deny deny deny".
Over the coming months, Charlie and I will be trying to post some big boy remixes and new music on these here pages. Hopefully providing some amusement for our fellow student slackers.
