Whether you perceive daft Californian dance-punks !!! to be nothing but deranged practitioners of a funked up pastiche, busily recomposing bits and pieces of euphoric histories past – post-punk revivalism; those more accessible entries in the annals of Warp Records; hedonistic '90s raves and whatnot; their own, even – or saviours of some indefinable other altogether, they're ever jesters worth sparing a smirk or two. And with this, the year's first truly stimulatingly titled LP, Nic Offer et al. strive to reinsert the fun back into the somewhat restrained funk renaissance of recent times. [...]
Wherever does one go from a glistering synth-pop opus reconceptualising the life of John DeLorean? Well, to an ever blithe re-envisaging of the life of Italian lefty Giangiacomo Feltrinelli – the inspiratory founder of one of the Mediterranean's most widely lionised 20th century publishing houses, of course. And Praxis Makes Perfect – the wondrously outré sophomore recording from the pair comprising Gruff Rhys and Bryan Hollon known only as Neon Neon – is, appositely I suppose, the sound of the duo becoming that bit better acquainted with one another. And although the power balladry [...]
"We can't understand German, so we got yelled at by some bus driver telling us we were in the wrong place. He was nice enough to turn around, otherwise it would've been kinda awkward having to lug our equipment around. 'OK, yeah! Danke! Danke Schoen! Bye-bye!' Pfft." That's the jovial reasoning behind this afternoon's scheduled Plausch with Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches taking place that bit belatedly. He's currently, well, not exactly living in Berlin but he's been there since December. "I don't know how long we're gonna be here, but I guess [...]
Not just stealing songs but ruining them too now I see, finally got around to hurting me ears with the BEYONCE 's of BACK TO BLACK . A minute silence for when the ANDRE 3000 wasn't a shell of his former self.
Sunday bliss in bed with me plus one, finally got around to listening to the SIA 's latest mp3 KILL AND RUN . She-popper knows exactly how to make me cry with her vox.
Sunday AM back home, the L AURA MARLING 's new album ONCE I WAS AN EAGLE is coming in me ears courteous of a leakage. D.O.B : May 27, 2013 Label : Virgin Tracklist : 1. Take the Night Off 2. I Was an Eagle 3. You Know 4. Breathe 5. Master Hunter 6. Little Love Caster 7. Devil's Resting Place 8. Interlude 9. Undine 10. Where Can I Go? 11. Once 12. Pray for Me 13. When Were You Happy? (And How Long Has That Been) 14. Love Be Brave 15. Little Bird [...]
I'd be pleased if a new mp3 leaked from the LANA DEL REY between now and the end of time. Latest leakage from the she-popper is ST. TROPEZ (A.K.A PARTY GIRL) , even though it's from her 2010 era.
Today we got two steps closer to The Great Gatsby soundtrack leaking in full, this ones from the XX contribution TOGETHER doing a Wednesday eve leakage. Which reminds me that everything they released after their debut album is just blah. Etc.
To even to so much as suggest Animal Collective's Centipede Hz LP of yesteryear was patchy would be at best a rich compliment, for truth be known it was by and large rather more miss than hit . We suggested then that it was one which needed more time to develop and grow on you tumorously, for it initially seemed ridden with larval earworms (earcentipedes, perhaps) in need of further fertilisation. Though as Brian DeGraw of albeit all too modest Gang Gang Dance fame tonks in with a viciously compelling [...]
An oxymoron by default, although Zomby has indubitably become the prime social media soliloquist of late as he continues to vent unabating vexations via his Twitter feed . However not only does Soliloquy feature not one solitary lyric, nor even an unintelligibly contorted vocal blurt as so many supposedly instrumental hip hop tracks seem to do these days but it makes for a speechless stupefaction to rival the reviled producer's previous in the typographically ungainly W I T H L O V E . A crisp net of refined beat catches neat samples ominous for the most part [...]
The Great Gasby soundtrack ain't leaked yet but the NERO 's contribution to it has. The British EDM trio's INTO THE PAST is up there with the LANA DEL REY's in terms of Oscar winning. Which got me in Wednesday AM hysterics now that the BEYONCE's seems to have made the shiteous contribution to this OST. How can someone get it so wrong so often these days.
Taken off that soundtrack you've been raving about when you ain't been posting about the DAFT PUNK's LP #4, the LANA DEL REY 's new mp3 YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL has leaked and its perfection is coming in me Sunday eve ears. Downloading now.
Give it a mo as it takes that extra third spin before you appreciate the KELIS ' freshly leaked mp3 CALL ON ME . The mid-tempo soulful number was produced by the DAVID SITEK and will give you the horn, especially when they kick in a few minutes through.
New leak from the JLOZ HQ is coming in your Friday eve ears, produced by Jean Baptiste and samples Edwin Starr's War. Keap your weave on though as the original WOT IS LOVE was on the LOPEZ 011 LP LOVE ? Yep. She's still trying with this mp3.
Hutch Harris has stumbled upon a songwriting formula and has decided to damn well stick to it if Portland, Oregon trio The Thermals' sixth studio full-length Desperate Ground give any valid indication. '06 opus The Body, The Blood, The Machine perfected this heady, predetermined mix of fuzzy guitars, songs unrelentingly over and above 140 bpm, and hooks a go-go with a healthy measure of exuberant, usually shouty righteousness hurled in for added impact. And needless to say, Desperate Ground fails to stray far from this tried, tested, and so too trusted formula. [...]
If there's the one openly recognised world wide web-wide idiom that I despise with my every ounce, then it's that of a song dropping . From whence are the fuckers descending? The sky? Or the fourteenth floor of EMI? There is no logical answer to this illogically irate questioning, though in the case of Portland, Oregon pairing Gauntlet Hair it seems just about acceptable to employ said verb, if only to play into some substandard bon mot . Craig Nice and Andy Rauworth just dropped the new Gauntlet Hair, and by 'eck can its intense reverberations be heard [...]
Stupefied silence. It's a debilitation few records are in any way capable of incurring, though it's precisely what we're presented with as Deco Child returns with the sweeping grandiosity of Skinless Pt. 1. It's another step in an altogether more accomplished direction for Ninja Tune signee Alex Lloyd, who here builds a whirring blizzard of raw emotivity about a powder-soft pianistic solemnity evocative of Martin Grech's Open Heart Zoo. A typically ethereal and distant vocal inevitably features, as do scrupulously honed bloops and incongruous handclaps somehow in keeping with the rapture this one instils within for it instantly [...]

You've heard the snippet , and doubtless indulged in the phoney reproductions pieced together from its couple minutes. The internet's been ablaze with Get Lucky all week, and it's more or less kept if not the world then at least the www. spinning. Well, mercifully for all involved really, you can now hear the whole shebang below. Pharrell's falsetto is every bit as good as it sounded when it first broke free box-fresh on that Coachella-aired excerpt; Nile Rodgers' guitars effervesce joie de vivre against a quintessential Daft Punk backdrop, and all of a sudden [...]
No longer just a loop alert. The DAFT PUNK 's new single, featuring the PHARRELL, has leaked. Once your drums get a taste of GET LUCKY your ears will be moisting for more from these French electro-poppers. Meeting bounding now, with this on loop in one ear whilst I nod along to the noises peeps make in me other. The post When Stars Collide appeared first on wotyougot .
