radiohead | a moon shaped pool

 
Radiohead are sneaky bastards aren’t they? But I suspected something was up when they became a headliner at this year’s Lollapalooza Music Festival. Then after droppin’ a couple of tracks Burn The Witch and Daydreaming every fanboy and fangirl were riven with the possibility of a new full-length release. And now A Moon Shaped Pool is actually a real thing and not some sort of pipe dream. Naturally I am stoked way past 11 and I have already ordered my vinyl!

tree  //  karma police (official video)

 
The way out west artist Tree (Oliver Nickell) recently co-directed the video to his astounding Radiohead Karma Police cover. And although the video works well and a visual vehicle it is his re-imagining of the song that sends shivers all over my earlobe. So far, Tree’s Karma Police is my favorite cover of 2013!

Check out the debut Demons EP is available on vinyl via Apollo and R&S Records. Peace.

atoms for peace // ingenue

Don’t let the black and white photo fool you Atoms For Peace is a polychromatic wonderburst of kaleidoscopic proportions.

When it comes to modern contemporary pop music Thom Yorke has the Midas touch. Or so it seems. Mr. Yorke has a penchant for dance (the video for Lotus Flower anyone?. The Flea/Yorke project known as Atoms For Peace is anything but another permutation of Radiohead, it stretches and shape-shifts into ever interesting and enjoyable plateaus …well, let me shut-up and just let your ears & eyes enjoy the music. If you haven’t known the pleasure, you can cop the Atoms For Peace’s album AMOK here. Peace. Continue reading “atoms for peace // ingenue”

atoms for peace // default

Atoms For Peace is indeed playing peek-a-boo with our feelings, and we love it.

Since 2009 Thom Yorke (Radiohead) has been baiting us, perhaps not intentionally but nonetheless we’re baited. Atoms For Peace to date has only revealed two songs, “Default” and “Judge Jury And Executioner,” there are rumors of war (in the studio) of a February 2013 full-length album ‘Amok’ of which you can pre-order via iTunes. Until them check out the Dazed Digital Mixtape by none other than our favorite conjurer of radiantly elliptic music Mr. T. Yorke. Peace. Continue reading “atoms for peace // default”

chet faker | i’m into you | video

 
Chet Faker isn’t an artist shrouded in mystery. A bit of mystique? Yes. This talented singer/songwriter/producer wears his intent, and perhaps his heart too, on his musical sleeve. No secret either how the music he creates is just plain lovely. I also find Chet Faker to be fearless, or maybe it’s just high-octane confidence, either way it’s all good. Here is an artist who can tackle Radiohead’s song Nude and reduce it to its spiritual essence, no mean feat. And CF is equally comfortable (and very capable) of reaching into the R&B archives of 1996 and polishing off Blackstreet’s No Diggity by Blackstreet into a new-found glowing radiance. After the jump, check out Chet Faker’s secret live session performing his very own, I’m Into You at S.O.TERIK‘s Showcase at SXSW presented by FILTER Magazine. Peace.

chet faker // terms and conditions (video)

I’m adding Melbourne, Australia artist Chet Faker (Nick Murphy) to my list of new favs, and with good reason. What originally, and ultimately, won me over was his sumptuous re-edit of Radiohead’s song “Nude” with its drawn out slow-motion honey drip treatment which clings to your soul like sticky whale song. But that was only the beginning of my new-found addiction. Now, with his latest “Terms And Conditions” I have arrived at the epicenter of full-on famdom and it’s a great place to be. Check out the mini-lineup of songs after the jump, and of course there is a visual to massage your corneas into bliss. Peace. Continue reading “chet faker // terms and conditions (video)”

Radiohead – TKOL RMX 1234567


I get real touchy when folks try to mess with the music of my favorite band. So, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Radiohead TKOL 1234567 Remix, and I actually love it (well, most of it). Here’s the thing though, this retooling of Radiohead’s music has more highlights than lowlights because it was reworked by DJs who I admire and/or listen to (and who know what the hell their doing). Maybe that’s why it turned out so well. Who knows? Right out the gate the album opens with a stunner; with Caribou laying down hypnotic beats and a tingling piano/harp thingy on “Little By Little”. From across the pond we have UK supa’ producer Lone turning “Feral” inside out and sprinkling space dust on the remains. Then there is Pearson Sound/Ramadanman creating something salacious and utterly wicked with his take on “Morning Mr Magpie”. I also have to give an honorable mention to Four Tet‘s lush mutant clone of “Separator”, which I can’t seem to stop listening to. All in all there are no duds here, but like most LPs you like what you like. Also, you can preview the entire album at Radiohead‘s webpage.

And make sure you check out Thom Yorke spinning at the Boiler Room, this was a live feed for the October 3rd premiere of Radiohead’s TKOL RMX 1234567 release.
