Video: DIRTY BEACHES "God Speed"

DIRTY BEACHES - God Speed (by la station radar ) From 12” split LP “Double Feature” (with Ela Orleans)

De graciles volutes de piano introduisent dans l'alcôve de notre nuit la splendeur déroutante de Double Feature , split vinyle réunissant deux amis inspirés, Alex Zhang Hungtai, ou Dirty Beaches selon son nom de scène, et Ela Orleans , exilée pour quelques mois encore à New-York. S'agissant de leur rencontre, Alex lève le voile : « J’ai contacté Ela après avoir découvert sa musique sur MySpace. Je l’ai invitée à jouer avec moi lors d’un concert à New-York au cours d’une tournée américaine. Elle nous a hébergés, nous préparant [...]

Atelier Ciseaux and La Station Radar have yet again collaborated on a stunning 123 split for Ela Orleans and Dirty Beaches . Here are two music videos made for the release.

Second, is Dirty Beaches' "God Speed", with three full minutes of upbeat drums and urging guitar over footage of the endearing Salvation Mountain in California. The 123 silk-screened covered record can be ordered here .

Dirty Beaches - God Speed Top-to-bottom goodness… Order up that  Double Feature split! gracegloria : Dirty Beaches  split 12” with Ela Orleans comes out today on La Station Radar / Atelier Ciseaux  &  Night People . Special thanks to Alison Peery for helping with the video.

French label collective La Station Radar / Atelier Ciseaux have teamed up with stateside wax slingers Night People (founded by the much-missed Raccoo-oo-oon ) to release Double Feature - a heavy hitting 123 split between Ela Orleans and psych rock's finest pompadour-laden trans-Pacific prophet, Dirty Beaches . Despite the beach-themed moniker, Alex Zhang doesn't evoke whimsical nostalgia. Hell no. His recent release, Badlands , summons acid trips riddled with paranoia, shadows lurking in the corners. "God Speed" comes replete with Bo Diddley riffs piped through primordial distortion [...]
