Dillon - This Silence Kills 2011

the exact midpoint between agnes obel and oh land. some really, really glorious noise and electro hints, lots of repeated lines (over and over and over) and it sounds like something i cannot fucking remember right now. not korouva, not lykke li, ...it's her inflection. ...not quite feist...

what the fuck am i thinking of?!

something. but the closest thing is oh land. like, way super close.

also contains the chorus 'the robots are gonna help us find the crystal', which i want to understand but am assuming is just a fun, european masturbation euphemism.

The Forgotten Archetype

so its two kids (like, they might be 20ish now?) from oregon. beyond that it's kind of hard to describe. pretty much every kind of vocals ever used in any genre ever, mixed with a lot of drum machines and death metal and pop and white boy rap and bleeding through-esque wanky 2step breakdowns and coral symphonic arrangements and vocoders and R&B and cello noodling.

this is pretty much the logical evolution of the internet in musical form. the lyrics range from peter pan, to being vegeta, to playing gears of war, to trying to find fast food and shooting strangers instead.

whatever my review has made you think about what this may sound like, it sounds completely different. listen to at least some of it. the songwriting is actually really decent, and the fucker can play guitar like...i dont know. like someone whos really good at guitar. theyre really good at programming drums and singing/grunting/rapping/screeching and its generally fucking hilarious. not listening to this is a huge mistake.

Tra La La Blip (2010)

So this chef/electronic producer I met yesterday told me about this group.

Randolf Reimann is a musician and a support worker at a home for severely mentally/physically disabled people in rural Australia. I guess what happened is that he walked in while a music class was being conducted, all of the people playing triangles and things-- really not making music at all. Determined to make a change, he brought in six midi controllers, a microphone, and his MacBook with Ableton Live 7. He started teaching them how to use it all, and they actually kind of got the hang of it. They started recording songs as Tra La La Blip, a collective of three sub-bands (so to speak): the younger kids who go by MSG (Movers, Soothers, and Groovers), the middle-aged folk who go by Wash Your Hands, and the older ones who go by Honeydance. I couldn't find a torrent for their album, but I found this YouTube video. They did the stop action stuff too.



Stop whining about how hard Ableton is.
