intergalactic lovers // delay + video

No jokes about Belgian waffles. I promise. Intergalactic Lovers are one of those bands which can only be described as indescribable This one is hard hard to nail down. But, it’s not like they’re all over the map either. The special thing this band does, and they do it very well, is meld together a myriad of different influences and stylistically blends them into something sonically pleasing. Listen to their song, “Delay,” and here what I’m trying (poorly) to explain. The end product sounds like several sounds, as if the Psychedelic Furs, La Luz and Marissa Nadler were tossed into a cauldron and the resulting brew materialized into the Intergalactic Lovers. The debut album Greetings & Salutations is out now and it is laden with just shy of a dozen ear-friendly gems. Check it out. Peace.  Continue reading “intergalactic lovers // delay + video”

osborne // hold up (ft. joe goddard)

The English, i.e. British-accented voice dousing  the lifeblood on Ann Arbor/Detroit producer Todd Osborn’s new single Hold Up is none other than Joe Goddard of Hot Chip fame and fortune.

Hold Up is the most recent music from the Osborn camp since his 2009’s Hovercrafting EP and 2008’s self-titled debut. This one however, comes packed with a remix from Goddard that’s entitled, Joe’s Dub — it is danceable and is suitably furnished with adequate reverb and beats aplenty. Peace.
