I’ve been a fan of Little People for quite some time now: readers may remember my review of the artist’s latest album We Are But Hunks of Wood ( http://www.themusicninja.com/l ittle-people-we-are-but-hunks- of-wood/ ). I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to do a live performance write up of the artist, but to be fair to the reader, I’m not a huge fan of the proverbial on-stage DJ. It’s not really my scene as I tend to prefer the more head banging, guitar slamming variety of on-stage performance. I typically save my electronica for home. [...]
It's a foggy, rainy, gray day here in San Francisco. I'm spending the entirety of it in a steamy kitchen, making a belated Passover dinner for nine people. My brisket is slow cooking in the oven (tenderly falling apart) and my homemade chicken soup is simmering brightly with carrots, parsnips, and other root veggies - and I'm in desperate need of some ambient, electronic tunes to keep my anxiety level down. That's where this Sunday Night playlist comes in handy. It's a perfect recipe of Daughter and Bon Iver remixes, peppered with some other gorgeous tracks here and [...]

Here's a new loosie by ACE B8gie entitled "The Little People", featuring production by Dave Coresh. Not sure where this track might end, but you best believe ACE is ALWAYS cooking some heat.
Earlier this year I was a guest on the excellent IDC Radio program Tastemakers. We listened to music by the likes of Kick Up The Fire, Little People, Father John Misty, Absofacto, WhoMadeWho and Carolina Chocolate Drops as well as talking about wicked YouTube channels and must hear podcasts. You can find the entire track listing here. The post Cougar Microbes featured on Tastemakers radio show appeared first on Cougar Microbes .
Seattle producer duo ODESZA , who I mentioned via Twitter a few nights back have their lovely Summer's Gone mixtape free to download on their site, have released the firework-themed video for "IPlayYouListen." Director Diego Contreras captured Christmas in Guatemala, which seems like a much different version of the holiday we're used to in the states, for the short video available below. Bonus: ODESZA will be heading out on tour soon on their native West coast alongside Emancipator [...]
![[MEGA Playlist] 60+ Instrumental Tracks You Need to Listen to](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4741497_lg.jpg)
Everyone loves lyrics. Whether they're light-hearted and playful, soul-gripping and gut-wrenching, or abstract and avant garde, we all love to sing along, relate certain verses to our personal lives, or just be taken away by another person's story. On the other hand, hearing a great instrumental track is an entirely different experience. Without having words to identify with, your brain is free to let the music create an image in your mind. The interpretation is more so up to you than if you had someone defining it with their own words. Having this blank canvas allows your mind [...]
It took a long six years for Little People, AKA Laurent Clerc to release a follow up to his top-notch 'Mickey Mouse Operation' debut but when 'We Are But Hunks Of Wood' was finally released it was completely worth the wait. There is almost a cinematic solitude to Clerc's music that suggests that he meticulously [...]
If you like instrumental music, chill electro music or maybe even The xx , you are destined to like Little People . While London's favorite elect-slo artist has been around for quite sometime, it's taken him some time to gain in popularity. Understandable, as the genre as a whole itself hardly sees the limelight. Regardless, Little People is likely amongst the throned individuals. Enjoy the short video below made for one of his latest tracks, "Aldgate Patterns." It doesn't erupt. It doesn't evolve into an entirely different song. It's a slow-morpher perfect for some contemplation. If [...]
I wish I didn’t have to sleep. I really do. It’s incredibly hard to have a full time job, pursue writing, enjoy my hobbies and find the time to discover awesome new music to write about for The Music Ninja. So I multi task. While I’m working, writing, cooking, working out, driving in the car, I take full advantage of my unlimited data plan and stream Spotify like it’s going out of style. It was during a particularly trying day at work that I came across Little People’s debut album The Mickey Mouse Operation, I instantly fell in love down tempo electro [...]
One of the things I love about electronic producers is their journey from hip hop to the other, a journey that is always one of authenticity. UK producer, Laurent Clerc , known by moniker Little People , released his debut album Mickey Mouse Operation in 2006, a traditional hip hop instrumental album, only to find in the past two years the album has steadily been in the top 30 selling iTunes download album in the electronic genre. Now with We Are But Hunks of Wood , his second [...]

To expect the unexpected. Which in turn means you are expecting exactly what you will be getting. Which isn't unexpected. So what do you expect? Before I become profoundly irrelevant, what I'm getting at is artists making unexpected music. Switching it up, surprising us, keeping on our toes. Wavves dabble in production, and a collaboration of Philip Glass with Amon Tobin, as well as other surprises to follow, paired nicely with some expected sounds. First off is the album Rework: Philip Glass Remixed . Philip Glass recruited [...]
Little People - "Marzipan Children" Early last year, Tnoise was one of the first music blogs in the world to discover and share Little People . As expected, the popularity of Little People soon thereafter took off and in the ensuing months he played gigs and music festivals all over the world. Little People - "Aldgate Patterns" Downtempo brilliance indeed.
True fans of music spend countless hours searching for that next great song, album or artist, whether it be online or in a local record shop. The beautiful thing about music in today’s age is that technology has created an infinite supply of great music that is available to us at the click of a mouse. How perfect is that? We can discover a brand new artist on the opposite side of the globe in seconds without a radio or a music television channel. It only makes sense that a website so dedicated to this gorgeous universe of music would [...]
Little People is the moniker of UK based downtempo electronic musician Laurent Clerc.He returns with his 2nd full length album - We Are But Hunks Of Wood - a whole 6 years after his 1st album ( Mickey Mouse Operation ) was released on Illicit recordings. Whilst his debut - an accomplished ode to late 90’s instrumental hip hop - has unexpectedly gone on to be in the top 30 selling album downloads on iTunes in the electronic genre in the US for the last 2 years, he is still all but unknown to most tastemakers + [...]

As we discussed not long ago in a post for the video of " Aldgate Patterns ", Little People has remained an incredibly slept on downtempo producer since as early as 2006. To help introduce this fantastic beatsmith to more fans, Little People has released snippets from his forthcoming album, We Are But Hunks Of Wood . The video of snippets ticks in at fives minutes, too, which gives a real healthy dose of what to expect on the new LP. Compared to his 2006 Mickey Mouse Operation , it appears the man has stuck to his guns, [...]
