We love Star Slinger. A lot. Everything he makes is a hip-hop infused delight, and this is no exception. A magical video that is tripped out in the most fantastic way, through the use of kaleidoscopic images. Props to Lunchbox Theory for putting me on!
Not sure if I can accurately describe how much we love Gold Panda, but perhaps if we just keep writing about him, you’ll get the idea. Never have I been so utterly transfixed by such a minimal album. Lucky Shiner took over my mind for a month and this video for the new single, “Marriage”, is taking over my day. There is perfect harmony between this track and the imagery, it is simple and subtle projecting images of pure happiness. It would be useless to describe to you what happens here, you just have to feel it.
So everything about this video is fucking amazing. I feel confident making a statement like that as I have watched this at least five times today. Here come the reasons. This song is insanely catchy (it sounds mostly like a tricked out “Telephone”), I have no idea what they’re saying (except for a well placed “baby!”), but it doesn’t matter, I’ve been singing the melody all day. The choreography is incredible, and their outfits are even better (pretty sure one of the dudes is wearing a sweater dress). I love the weird tension of their kind of suggestive dance moves combined with their childlike outfits and the fact that they seem to be in a children’s infirmary. It really takes me back to the days of US pop music in the mid 90s when everyone was manicured and manufactured. The fact that Co-ed School were so meticulously crafted makes me like them even more, plus they have 10 members, which is just bananas. I can’t stop watching this, so I guess I’m officially on the K-pop wave. Mad props to Acéphale’s twitter for hooking this up, and to Denmark Records for putting me onto K-pop in the first place.
“Montaña de Tormenta” is one of the wilder tracks from San Gabriel‘s phenomenal debut on Time No Place, juxtaposing cumbia basslines with rude-boy samples and a high pitched vocal squeal that rises above its tropical melancholia. Volfe is out digitally right now, and you should also pick up the vinyl when it’s out on June 26.
