Tunes that make my face go like this...

Scary_cat

Ok, so I figured I'm well overdue to blog about something other than either shitty movies or who the guest dj is at mine and Zebo's Wednesday night weekly party (something I should really be doing daily to be honest). So, I'm gonna get right into this thing and say a few things about some of the tracks that are floating my proverbial boat at this very moment. Without further ado...

Caribou - "Odessa"
As far as I know, this is the first leaked track off the new Caribou full-length 'Swim' which I believe has yet to see proper release but should soon enough. There's really not a whole lot to say about this dude that hasn't been said at length already... He makes fantastic records and I've been a huge fan since day one, be it via his Caribou or Manitoba projects or otherwise. This particular tune doesn't so much hit the target that is my personal tastes so much as it incinerates the target completely. Left-field circus disco with that proper, dusty, analog sound ingenuity? Yes, please. Call it whatever you like... I'll call it awesome.


Nino Ferrer - "Looking For You"
I recently bought this compilation put together by the Dirty Soundsystem guys called 'Dirty French Psychedelics' focused on, you guessed it, forgotten French psych obscurities from years past. The whole thing's pretty fantastic but upon initial impressions, this is the one that's been on repeat. Just a beautiful, sublime song... And also obviously a real influence on Air's 'Virgin Suicides'-era stuff.


Hot City - "If That's How I Feel"
If you're into dance music of any variety and you're not feeling all these young dudes coming out of the UK right now who are doing all this post-Garage/dubstep hybrid shit (Hot City, Roska, Untold, L-Vis, etc.) then you're missing out on some pretty exciting stuff. Industry folk are always looking to tag stuff like this with new genre labels (thusly giving it a near-instant expiration date) but I've always subscribed to the notion that if the shit bangs and is in the classical Garage/2step/UK bass music lineage then I could give a shit what it's called... Ultimately it's gonna get some bump from my end. In that regard, Fabric's 'Elevator Music' comp. pretty much knocks it out the park. Check out the whole thing, it's wicked.


Annie - "Songs Remind Me Of You"
I LOVED the first Annie record. LOVED it. Listened to the absolute, everloving, motherfucking shit out of it. Thinking about it now, I'm totally shocked I let her new one slide by me with such little fanfare. Truth be told, it came out last year and I still haven't heard more than about 2 or 3 tracks from it. That being said, I'm not entirely ready to vouch for the entire thing but am 100% certain that I love this particular track. I think it was produced by Richard X who's a producer I really admire and as Italo-revival music goes, this one is pretty fucking spot on. Great synth melodies, strong pop composition and the kind of retro sensibilities to make a motherfucker strap on the rollerskates and get all Rainbo roller rink on that ass (you Chicagoans should know what I'm talking about).


And lastly, anything by Max Cooper.
For serious, what kind of shit is this dude smoking? If you've ever wondered what it would sound like if someone took a degree of audio micro-managing and meticulousness to rival 'Tri-Repetae'-era Autechre and spat it through the filter of some proged-out, Border Community-type shit then you might start to get an idea of what this dude is about. I haven't heard a track from this guy over the course of the past year that I thought was anything short of absolutely fantastic. He's making smart, pretty, head-y music for that special time in the early hours when the sun's coming up, the only folks who remain on the dancefloor are the very most devoted, and you're ready to give them them that single most memorable, musical moment of the night's adventure. Next time I have that very opportunity, I know who's tracks I'll be reaching for...





Enjoy!
