Dylan Stark – Shelter

I can’t quite put my finger on why I keep coming back to this song. Maybe because there’s a warmness to it that usually doesn’t exist in sample-based music. It’s sort of like a hyperactive, Balearic-sounding Books song in that sense. Lovely video, too. 

Heartland is out now on Civil Music.

Hot Chip – Atomic Bomb (John Talabot Remix)

Alright, there’s a lot of moving parts here, so stay with me: A few years ago, David Byrne (he of Talking Heads fame, amongst a million other projects) released a compilation of tracks by William Onyeabor, a Nigerian artist who recorded most of his output in the late seventies and early eighties. Just last year, Hot Chip covered “Atomic Bomb”, which was originally recorded by Onyeabor in 1978, for yet another compilation, this one featuring covers of the original compilation released by Byrne a few years earlier. Still with me? Good. Now, John Talabot has remixed that Hot Chip song into what your listening to right now. Confused? That’s OK. Hopefully you can still enjoy the tune.

It’s been brought to my attention that I forgot to post a song yesterday. I imagine this pysch garage thumper by Michigan’s Heaters is good enough for two days’ worth of posts. Call it even?

Check your April calendar… anything going on the 11th? Well cross that shit out, cause you’re gonna go see yourself a rock and roll show. The Mystery Lights play at The Shop with Pittsburgh’s own The Nox Boys and Dream Phone.

Grimes – Realiti

Somehow I missed this when it came out a few weeks ago. Grimes refers to this as demo-quality, but it sounds just fine to me. At the very least, the video (shot mostly in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia) should ignite some sort of wanderlust in you, which is certainly never a bad thing.
