It's time again for another post chalked full of new songs form a slew of established electro bands and one new disco band. Yes, the new music keeps leaking on the net and I for one cannot get enough of it. Here are some of my favorite songs from the past week.
While this single may not be as heavy as My People it packs just as much of a punch. It is way more relaxed yet fast paced enough to keep the dancing going. I love the music video and feel that this is a much better single than My People. Although I suspect many others would feel differently. Whatever, its all good.
The Presets brand new album, Apocalypso, has just leaked. Which is no surprise considering it has been on their MySpace for quite some time now. The album is an epically produced and written set of songs that see the band explore a wide range of electronic and pop influences. From what I gather this will be much bigger and more well received than Beams. I have no doubt about it, 2008 will see The Presets reach new heights, both here in the states and worldwide! (I don't know how big they are outside of Australia.)
As for the song, it's a slow builder, it clocks in at just over six minutes and reaches the most eventful in the last two minutes. It's worth the wait, I'd like to hear some remixes of this song.
If you're wondering what the picture I chose for this post has to do anything, wonder no longer for I am going to explain the unexplained. Both Sebastian and the Presets are apart of this post, and both Sebastian and The Presets opened for Daft Punk on the Australian leg of the Alive tour. That's all. Momy is one of Sebastian's finest tracks from his new Motor EP. It sees him explore the use of melody, yet still retaining the dirty, distorted Ed Banger trademark sound. I feel that it is better than any Justice song, and yes I will always compare the two with each other, and is only a taste of the greatness to come which is Sebastian's full length. I can't wait for more!
So now that I've been listening to this album for a good month and a half I can now safely pass judgement on what my favorite track is. Raise Me Up is a laid back disco track, one of the five songs featuring Antony on vocals. I remember reading an interview in which Antony said his voice was really pushed in the recording of this album. And with this track you can really hear it being tested to new limits. Towards the end what is done with his voice is fucking crazy! I love this track JUST for that! Without that technique of the layering of the voices this track is great but with that its out of this world unbelievably mind blowing!!!
And I'll leave you with another cut from the Ladytron album. I like it alot more than Witching Hour already, but still need more time to delve into the tracks and see which ones are the best. This one stood out to me, though.
