"Universe Is Blessed" is the latest single from Christopher Laufman, aka Wise Blood, and can be found on his debut full-length LP, 'id,' which is out on June 25th via Dovecote. Take A Listen: Universe Is Blessed from Wise Blood

The latest single "Universe Is Blessed" from sample-based producer Wise Blood (aka Chris Laufman) feels less claustrophobic-more open-air landscapes and empty highways-than previous single 'Rat". Marrying smooth string samples to a simplistic, though effective, beat, this track showcases Laufman's ability to build a catchy hook around the most seemingly disparate samples. Combative rumbles of percussion run circles around his distorted vocals and seem almost martial in their precision. Wise Blood's upcoming LP id is due out on June 25th via Dovecote Records. Listen to "Universe Is Blessed" below. The post Listen: [...]

wenn mädels dampf machen, hier zu viert, aus toronto stammend und mit vorbildern wie patti smith oder the black keys ausgestattet, eine erste selbstbetitelte ep gibt es auch schon, der rest muss von Euch entschieden werden, have fun: the beaches : absolutely nothing by thebeaches sie gehen im vorprogramm von two gallants an den start, sind zugleich das neue signing von siluh records (kürzlich erst eine single dort herausgebracht) [...]

On "Universe Is Blessed," Wise Blood twists symphonic samples into a bouncy, torch-song ode to drinking and life. For something that seems so electronic and beat-based, there's a palpable sense of atmosphere, melody and space on this one.
New album id out June 25th on Dovecote.

Wise Blood est Christopher Laufman, un drôle de bonhomme adepte des collages musicaux de tous genres. Il mélange pop, hip hop, électro et parfois même de la folk pour créer des morceaux assez incroyables comme « Universe Is Blessed ». Il avait sorti un premier EP en 2011, avant de disparaître des radars malgré une hype grandissante. Son premier album sortira finalement le 25 juin, et s'il contient au moins un morceau aussi bon que celui ci-dessus, ça me suffira. Il se passe beaucoup trop de trucs dans ce morceau, je crois même qu'il y a une flûte qui [...]

Here is how the headlines will remember the week. President of the Catholic League is so fired up at Bowie's "The Next Day" music video that he called the pop star a, "switch-hitting, bisexual, senior citizen", while the media hedgefund-scaled hype surrounding The Great Gatsby redux only further reminds us of our current-crap-economic conditions, that finds Santigold moonlighting on "The Office" along with Clay Aiken and Aaron Rodgers to find "The Next Grea...

Bueno, pues parece que la portada del nuevo disco de Wise Blood es la imagen que acompaña este post, y si son de las personas que por lo regular se interesan en escuchar algo nuevo por medio del arte que los acompaña, estoy casi seguro que estarían ignorando por completo el contenido de "id". El 25 de Junio, Dovecote se estará encargando de poner a nuestra disposición este material de manera oficial, y si no pasa nada extraño, lo más probable es que en un par de semanas más podamos darle una [...]
Some of the cocktails on deck in Christopher Laufman, bka Wise Blood's "Universe Is Blessed" are as follows: a martini with olives on the side, rat poison, turpentine. And while it's probably best to opt for a ginger ale like Laufman has in the above photo, it's his propensity for oddity that makes his music work. This curiosity is the second single from his upcoming debut full-length id and it dazzles, as his wild pop experimentations usually do. He cites insular producers like SpaceGhostPurrp and Zomby as inspirations and that's made clear by how he constructs tracks with [...]

It's been a while since we've heard from Wiseblood , the project of a Pittsburgh artist who will only share his first name: Chris. In 2011 he released a great EP but seemingly disappeared right after. He has returned with a new song called "Rat" and the announcement that he has a debut album on the way. The album is titled id , and Dovecote will release it on June 25. Wiseblood caught our attention for his ability to mix multiples genres, influences, and samples to create something that was very unique. [...]

It’s only been two years since we last heard from sample-heavy producer Wise Blood (Chris Laufman)and his debut EP These Wings . But for those who loved the mixture of fractured beats, eccentric vocals, and skewered samples, the announcement of his forthcoming debut LP id should come as a welcome bit of news. Leading up the album’s release on June 25th via Dovecote Records, Laufman has just dropped the first single “Rat” from the upcoming album. Listen to the track’s shimmering electro-soul grooves below. The post Listen: Wise Blood – [...]

Christopher Laufman alias Wise Blood a annoncé officiellement la sortie prochaine de son tout premier album, nommé id, chez Dovecote Records . Bien que prévu pour le 25 Juin, c'est à dire dans un petit bout de temps, l'artiste décide déjà de nous dévoiler un tout premier extrait intitulé Rat . Un riche univers musical réunit dans cette piste aux référence pop, hip-hop ou encore indie, pour un résultat vraiment intéressant. Il nous tarde d'en découvrir plus à son sujet.

Wise Blood is back after a year gone A.W.O.L , spent pursuing legally dubious "schemes" and losing his musical "spine and his discipline" no less, but it would seem on reappearance he's found it again, ready to unleash his "self-contained sonic universe" on the rest of us. If 'Rat' is anything to go by, then I'd hazard a guess that we’re in for a treat with forthcoming album id (apparently we can call it either id or I.D, by the way – "whatever feels right"). It's light on the ears but intriguing to boot, opening with [...]
