What's a band to do if they don't have the right musical instrument? If you're LA electro-chamber-pop band Fol Chen , you invent one like the the Tetrafol. Seems your time has come, piano.

Песня – идеал постапокалиптич еской поп-баллады, а видео – в меру таинственная работа, проливающая свет на устройство музыкальной игрушки. Судя по обложке , не за горами и анонс одноимённого альбома.

В этом году поп-эксперимент Fol Chen наслаждается застуженным отпуском – из всех новостей, кроме сегодняшней, можно вспомнить разве что кавер на «I Walked» Суфьяна Стивенса, да и тот с трудом можно назвать важным событием в жизни группы. Оказывается, всё это время ребята работали над совместным проектом с Monome и Machine Project – игрушкой под названием Tetrafol, «позволяющей пользователю изучать звук путём физических воздействий». Девайс стоит больше сотни долларов , а о нет ни внятного видео, ни описания – только открытый код, выложенный на github . Каким-то образом со всем этим вместе идёт новая песня «So Good». [...]

Fol Chen - I Walked [Sufjan Stevens] | zs
In the previous entry in this series , we pointed out how Winter 2011 had been a largely regressive period for indie music. By contrast, the Spring has proven overwhelmingly innovative. Bands like tUnE-yArDs and Battles have brought a sense of adventure to traditional indie pop, and Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon has continued his career-long project to re-invent folk music with his latest classic. Still, amidst all the newness, sometimes we all need some musical comfort food. Such is the role of the cover tune, that lightning bolt to your hippocampus, [...]
