WOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE

OK. Sorry. Here's a new post.

First of all, here's a cool tune by Tiga. By far one of the most clever, creative remixes I've heard of Fever Ray. It's not super approachable but it'll definitely keep your attention, especially if you've heard the original. Be sure to listen to this with some bass or you'll be missing a lot...Tiga seems to really bury the low end a lot.



Now, here is a really fun band called Discovery! If you don't already know about them, the band consists of Rostam Batmanglij(of Vampire Weekend) and Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot. I know - what a superdope combinaiton. Maybe my favorite track of theirs:



Ok. Now my friend Zoe T. who is also superdope showed me this song. This is a song by ATL's own Gucci Mane (a money machine lately) and Diploooooooo. Yes, diplooooo. Anyway, this song made me bounce so hard my neck sore. He made Gucci sound like he has great flow...which isn't always the case. (But I do love Gucci :/)



OK SO WOWOWOWO.WOOWOWWOWOwowow. I was so incredibly excited about The Knife's new project in collaboration with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock. Now that the album is out, I pretty much just drew the conclusion that I need to see the play. Oh, yeah, so this album was commissioned to be the soundtrack to a play about the life of Charles Darwin. This is the first release from the album, The Colouring of Pigeons. There are soooo many great elements to this song, but sadly the vast majority of the album is less dancy and melodic than this one. I will say that Karin just kills in as usual with the vocals.



ANOTHER EXCITING THING. Hot Chip has a new album! It's called "One Life Stand" and it's out nowwwww! Well I am overall really pretty happy about it. It's a different theme than what I'm used to for Hot Chip - I first heard their Warning album, so there's a big thematic shift from electro playboys to true romantics in this new album. This song grooves and bounces all over the place, smoothly slipping along. There are some more strident, aggressive synth noises that remind me of Over and Over, for instance. In general, this track just seems more polished than what I'm used to from these guys.



Ok, so I think I'll end this post here. I have a rant about Calvin Harris to write but it's probably better off as a separate post. SORRY AGAIN. I'll try to be better about posting.
