Tibi PuiuLast year I was introduced to Clubfeet, a very promising three-piece electro band from Australia which marvelously fused ’80s disco pop with modern day synth pop. Today, I learned that Clubfeet is releasing their debut full length “Gold on Gold”. Upon further digging, I found “Count Your Lovers”, a sweet and soothing french disco song, beautifully arranged in hypnotic keys and uplifting synth lines.
[VIDEO] Caribou – ‘Sun’
Caribou’s latest full length “Swim”, released this April, is somewhere in my top 10 fav of the year so far. If you’re not that well impressed, it’s enough to sample Daniel Snaith’s Odessa or the techno infused, feel good track “Sun”, whose music video premiered earlier. While sub par compared with the quality of the song itself, the Simon Owens directed video however does a pretty good job in conveying the ecstatic nature of Sun….

[VIDEO] Animal Collective – Lion in a Coma
This just came in our inbox and boy do we love it! My name is Ori Toor and i just graduated from the shenkar school of design, majoring in illustration and animation. My final project is a stream of consciousness video for the song “Lion in a Coma” by Animal Collective, made frame by frame in flash. No script, no planning ahead.
[VIDEO] Flying Lotus – ‘MmmHmm’
This is undoubtedly the best music video I’ve been granted to see all year long. Lush, incredible special effects and fantastic cinematography – it all comes together with FlyLo’s (feat. Thundercat) incredible ‘MmmHmm’ resulting into an almost religious experience. MmmHmm is off Flying Lotus’ recently released third full length effort, the highly recommended Cosmogramma.
Download: Röyksopp – ‘Hus Nr. 9’
Last year’s Junior was among the best electronic albums I’ve ever heard, and trust me coming from a well versed techno head this means something. For 2010 the Norwegian duo are planning to continue Junior’s success with, of course, Senior – Röyksopp’s new album slated for a September 13 release. According to the band, the upcoming new record’s sound is somewhat reinvented when compared with its predecessor – the vibe is atmospheric, chilled and weary,…
Download: Wavves – ‘Post Acid’
Here’s another glimpse of Nathan Williams’ upcoming narcotic full swing trip of an album, “King of the Beach” (check out the cover art. You’ll lol). The track is called “Post Acid”, and even though nothing’s the same after a hit, Nathan still goes on with this rather bright piece – his most accessible track to date for that matter, if you take in account his previous distorted, bratty, hipsterish, whatchamacallit material. Hit the download button…
Download: Holy Fuck – ‘Latin America’
The lo-fi improvisational electronica band Holy Fuck released “LP”, their 2007 debut record, to stunning reviews. This year, Holy Fuck’s unique blend of euphoric synth lines and sturdy drum beats will once again grace ears with new material. The Canadians’ new album “Latin” drops on the 11th of May via XL, less than two months from now. As a sweet appetizer, you can check out one of the stand out tracks off the new record,…
[VIDEO] Massive Attack ft. Damon Albarn – ‘Saturday Come Slow’
Massive Attack’s new video for “Saturday Come Slow” featuring Damon Albarn premiered last week on Feeder, but I wasn’t until recently that I found the time to post it. It’s actually more of a moving short-film documentary, telling the story of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Ruhal Ahmed and his experience with torture through music – such a despicable way of instrumenting pain. [via feeder] This short film by renowned photographers Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin…
Download: Oh No Ono – ‘Eleanor Speaks’ (Caribou remix)
One of my favorite Danish up and going bands, Oh No Ono, just released their third studio effort, titled “Egg”, an album bristling with tight synth lines and pop goodness. Today, Caribou released an incredible remix of “Eleanor Speaks”, the opening track for Oh No Ono’s Egg, which totally turned the original at 180 degrees “into a fantastic slice of shuffling, four-to-the-floor techno complete with Caribou’s keen ear for arrangements and ear-tickling sound.” A great…
