Fan Death - Reunited

Fan Death - Reunited

Funky new video from Fan Death. The song is melodic, catchy, and peaceful; and the video is chocked full of allusions to famous artists of music's past (only half of which I knew of, but Marilyn Manson is in there for you Ohioans). short post.enjoy.

Pyramiddd/ Starfucker - Starfucker





























Pyramiddd, the artists formerly and more prolifically known as Starfucker is a fresh group out of Portland (Oregan). This album dropped all the way back in 2008 and I haven't come across anything awe-inspiring lately (despite extensive searching) so I decided to drop this new classic on you kids. The sounds are astonishing in their ability to lighten any mood, some of the songs will make you think your ears are in.jesting candy and that somewhere along the line this addiction may rot ear drums, a chance I am willing to take. Plus I heard the jury is still out on the research (arrested development reference). The relentless poppy/bubbly tones of the song construction act as a sort of boogie switch, capable of igniting groups of: old friends, complete strangers, even mormons, and emos in an eerily involuntary miniature explosion of drum and melody inspired rythmic motion known to some as expression and to the squares as dancing. Bang-a-rang includes: Rawnald Gregory Erickson 2nd, Pop song, and my favorite German Love.

Vitalic - Flashmob





Electronic music at its best. Layers of 21st century sounds with syncopated drums loops. Protect your neck from the constant head movement this album induces. More accessible than Vitalic's last release, OK Cowboy, and certainly more cohesive. Incomprehensible female vocals on some tracks add an abstract feel. Track two sounds like a European verison of Lipps Inc's Funky Town. Recommended activities while listening are riding bikes perpendicular to six lanes of traffic with Albert Hoffman's love child or a highly caffeinated morning commute. These tracks get you moving.

Mochipet - Bunnies and Muffins

























Mochipet is back with another LP and it is magnificent. It is significantly softer than his previous release "Master P on Atari" which had a sort of industrial feel to is grungy beats and delightfully choppy melodies. "Bunnies and Muffins" is an incredible album with some really floaty songs to get you skipping to class and some Ratatat style heavy guitar riffs if you are power walking to class because you took a BR and are now going to be late. words.

Panty Raid - The Sauce



















Panty Raid is a new group to me, coming through on this album with some slower hip hop inspired beats and extremely dirty synthesizers making up the bulk of the head bobbing melody. Most of the tracks start out a little slow for me, then build into something I can really get into. Good on speakers, awesome on headphones, dope all around. Get at it.

The classics are on there including DEADBEAT SUMMER and SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ACID WITH YOU along with a few new bangers, some even are surprisingly rough to the ear while others are nice and floaty. Absolutely a must have fir this year.
