Here’s what was on self-titled‘s office stereo today:
The Artist/Album: Pan Sonic, Gravitoni (Blast First Petite, 2010)
The Songs In a Couple Sentences: The creepy, crumbly death knells of two post-industrial madmen, with a couple dark ambient breathers toward the end. If Trent Reznor was reincarnated as the second coming of Throbbing Gristle, he’d make music like this.
–
The Artist/Album: Gate, A Republic of Sadness (Ba Da Bing!, 2010)
The Songs In a Couple Sentences: Traumatized techno-pop tunes that refuse to sit still or offer any hope; like Superpitcher if he really had a heroin habit. And from Michael Morley of The Dead C, no less.
–
The Artist/Album: Various Artists, Lagos Disco Inferno (Academy LPs, 2010)
The Songs In a Couple Sentences: Truth in advertising–a mirror ball-doused conga line that doesn’t quit, as selected by Frank Gossner of Voodoofunk.com fame. Boogie man beats and funky fresh breaks at their very best. Check out some clips here.
