Everywhere You Look it Seems It Can't Be Found
Ah man, i've got too much to listen to, digest, enthuse about. By the time I get round to it I invariably find that someone else has done all the enthusing before me. So rather than sit on this shit for another few days i'll just crack a couple of tracks off the wrist before going to bed. Don't expect much poetry.
First, the most frequently used phrase on headphonesex... 'hot new muthafuckin' dope assed freaky electro shit on Kitsune'.
Guns 'n' Bombs is a project between Chicago's Johnny Love, and Filip Turbotito (previously of Junior Senior). This track is immediately reminiscent of Digitalism's 'Zdarlight', but with even more heavy riffing head banging action. So anyway, it's out on Kitsune sometime. And you'll like it.
GUNS 'n' BOMBS - CROSSOVER ACTION
Told you this would be quick.....
Next Midnight Juggernauts, who are part of this new breed of funked up Australians (See also Cut Copy, The Presets...er... and all the others). Which is certainly progress, since when I was there a night out seemed to involved dancing to Vanilla Ice in a singlet before leaving the bar carrying a woman over your shoulder. (I jest of course, my antipodean friends - but hey, the ashes are coming up & i'd best start getting the digs in early).
Their debut EP 'Secrets of the Universe' is quite something. In particular opening track 'Shadows', which if you have any sense you should go and grab from Fluo Kids right now. I would have posted that myself if they hadn't done so first. It's a BLISSFUL slice of, god, could I describe it as 'funky house'?? No, that would be cruel. But it certainly has a bassline that could only be called funky. And it's housey. In honesty the whole EP is more influenced by Daft Punk than anything - particularly so on '45 and rising'. And let's face it, who doesn't love Daft Punk.
Having said that, this is the one track that doesn't sound much like the robots. And in fact has a touch of the New Romantic about it. I can imagine them doing that dance you do when you bang electronic drums with long sticks.
And that's all you're gonna get as i need to go to bed.
MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS - DEVIL WITHIN (PRESETS REMIX)
But one last thing before I go ....if you remember in my post about Yuksek I mentioned his electro pop group 'Klanguage'? Well the increasingly on-the-ball Big Stereo have a couple of fantastic tracks to download. I love 'Priceless Things'. I love it a lot.
