Blackbird Blackbird – “Erasers”

Chief — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 18:35:21 +0000

I was really surprised to hear the psychedelic, sample-heavy sound of Blackbird Blackbird‘s Erasers, which will be the first single from his upcoming sophomore release. The single almost sounds like something you’d hear from The Flaming Lips, and I’m really excited to hear him take his sound in this direction. You can purchase the sprawling, 20-track Summer Heart for only $10 here.

Blackbird Blackbird appears to be the only one successfully riding the chillwave these days, so I guess he’ll have to fill those lonely beaches with reverb-heavy versions of our favorite gems. Warpaint‘s The Fool was disappointing for me on many levels, but Blackbird Blackbird found a way to take their 1993 sound and drag it back a decade. He’s playing Smoke Don’t Smoke/FMLY‘s showcase this Saturday, and you need to be there.

We’re rounding out our week with Warpaint‘s cover of David Bowie‘s Ashes To Ashes. Everything we’ve heard from The Fool sounds like its going to be a classic, and you can pre-order it here.

Warpaint – Ashes To Ashes

I’ve been following Warpaint since their 2009 release Exquisite Corpse took me by storm, and I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this gem earlier in the week. Ashes To Ashes can be found on the two disc We Were So Turned On: A Tribute To David Bowie that will be out next week, which also features covers by Chairlift, Sister Crayon, and Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros. These girls are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands out there, and I’m loving how they’ve made this song something else. They’re on tour with The xx all fall, and I’m killing myself for not getting tickets for their show at the United Palace soon enough.

Warpaint

Warpaint is gorgeous. There is something about fragile female vocals combined with lo-fi guitars and synths that resonates deep within me. Exquisite Corpse has noodled its way into my favorite albums of the year. It kind of reminds me of what Land of Talk would be like if they had three Elizabeth Powells. This video for Stars is still a little fresh and needs to be seen by more than just a handful.
