Big Spider’s Back: Warped [Video]

big_spiders_back

When Panda Bear gave us Person Pitch a few years back, the album’s popularity was bound to create a movement of like-minded experimental psychedelic electro-pop. Already this year, we’ve been introduced to some pretty amazing artists that fit the mold, like Candy Claws and Golden Ages. Big Spider’s Back is the latest to please us with collating infectious instrumental loops that build into an atmosphere of sound. “Warped” is the visual accompaniment of that uncanny audible delight. Like the music of Big Spider’s Back, the video for “Warped” compiles bright colors and layers of imagery for what can only be called an experience. The result is cosmic.

Titiyo & Moto Boy: If Only Your Bed Could Cry [Video]

titiyo

Titiyo‘s deep vocals are dark and full of mystery. It doesn’t matter whether the song is an upbeat Swedish electro-dance tune, as she often creates, or one soft with subtle, heartfelt melodies. Her latest endeavor, Hidden, is out soon on Despotz Records. It finds her collaborating with the likes of Moto Boy, whose Jeff Buckley style guitar/vocals mesh perfectly with Titiyo’s for a sound that may be her most moving yet. The video, directed by Johan Tholson and Titiyo herself, finds the duo in a hotel elevator and is quite haunting. Read More »Titiyo & Moto Boy: If Only Your Bed Could Cry [Video]

Beat Radio: Safe Inside The Sound [Album Review]

beat_radio

Experimental pop and electro-pop meet in Beat Radio‘s Safe Inside The Sound. Opening track “Follow You Around” surfaces somewhere around eerie folk artist Okay, but with fuller instrumentation, less heartache, and a bit more experimentation. It’s a valid beginning, leading straight into the album’s highlight, “Sleepwalking”. Heavy with guitar-meets-synth instrumentation, the album continues is a much more pop-oriented fashion. There’s nothing masked or hidden here, it’s all upstanding, on-the-sleeve pop greatness. Read More »Beat Radio: Safe Inside The Sound [Album Review]

FensePost Best of 2001

A Retrospective Top 15: Best Albums Of 2001

The second installment of A Retrospective, in which I recap my favorite albums released from 2000 to 2008, this time: 2001. Wrought with turmoil and watching a life fall apart as so many others were having similar experiences but in a different manner; that was 2001 for you. The year I turned 21. A year that lives in infamy. Young or old, we all seemed to grow up that year. Music, too seemed to progress in ways unthought, even before that fateful day.

Robot Koch feat. Grace: People Are Strange [Video]

robot_koch

This takes me back. Way back. Back to the early to mid 90s, when as an early teen I was a camper at a little place called Camp Orkila. My counselor was an eccentric and short fellow, whose initials were E.L.F. and that’s what he went by. Each morning we woke up to “People Are Strange” by The Doors. I haven’t thought about it in years. Robot Koch gives the song a complete overhaul, treating the instrumental elements with various electronic loops and the vocals go to Grace. The result is an electro-trip-hop rendition of one of The Doors greatest achievements. Robot Koch dubs the genre a blend of hip-hop, ghettotech, and death metal. Sounds about right to me. The video is by Volker Heisterberg and Cornelia-Anca Paulnici, and was filmed live at Berlin’s Bar25 this past summer. Read More »Robot Koch feat. Grace: People Are Strange [Video]

Social Studies [Feature]

social_studies

Imagine the pre-Islands band The Unicorns in all their glory; that album, Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone. Now think of their triumphant return, matured a decade and now female-fronted. The songs are no longer bizarre and there’s been a complete turnaround when it comes to their accessibility to the general public. Imagine that, added with a newfound influence by, say, Fiery Furnaces, and you’ll have Social Studies. It’s somewhere in that general realm, with casio keyboards backed by bouncy pop bass – all of it, enjoyable. Read More »Social Studies [Feature]

Four Tet Announce First Album In Over Four Years!

four-tet

The last Four Tet album was released well over four years ago, so it’s a bit surprising to hear Kiernan Hebden has a new one on the horizon. That new one has a name: There Is Love In You. And it has a release date: January 26, 2010. Expect good things from the Domino Records release; we’ll all be treated with a two-track 12″ single early next month for the a-side track “Love Cry” and a b-side dubbed “Our Bells”. There Is Love In You will be released via CD, LP, and mp3. Read More »Four Tet Announce First Album In Over Four Years!
