GLOVES is yet another emerging artist from the small desolate island of Australia. I mean seriously, I wiki'd and found out there are only 1500 residents on the island... and every one of them seems to be a master in the art of electro. All for the better I guess.
GLOVES just signed with Bang Gang 12"s (home of Bag Raiders and KIM among others), and will be releasing his first 12" in December. But until then, he's been providing us bloggers with plenty of reasons to stay interested. Remixes for The Death Set and Van She are great to start off with, but promises of more from Cut Copy and Sneaky Sound System mean we're sure to see more of this character soon.
In anticipation of the Aussie troupe-de-kick-ass Van She's new album release, V... I give you a pair of tracks that are sure to improve whatever shitty day you're about to embark on. Or wait.. it's friday... that means throw this on the stereo and slaughter something. I'll have more to say about this incredible multiple personality band come this weekend once I check out the album in it's entirety.
And now for the legals... you can buy their album V from Modular, which releases on August 9th (omg that's freakin on Saturday!)
Living in a big city is tiring, and I find myself a lot of the time wanting to do nothing but flop on the couch, watch reruns of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and boil my future-children with my laptop while perusing the interwebs for music. And I'd like to share with you my journey:
Things got started after reading another amazing post about Van She, this time from fellow Chicago blogger redthreat. The aussie groupe-deluxe whose inspirations stem from 80's post punk, synth-electro-pop, early 90's grunge, krautrock, etc, will have a new album coming out in august, but their remixes are out and about now, which all kick wombat ass. Here's a few remixes I'm digging atm.
I give their last.fm page a check and started clicking around. End up going to a few places. First was fellow Australian cosmic-synth-indie-rockers Midnight Juggernauts, who's listed under similar artists. This put me in the mood to listen to one of my favorite albums of the last year, Dystopia (aussie release august 2007, domestic comes out this month).
The other path involved a click on a user comment which led me to the blog, Too Many Sebastians (clever name). While browsing his site, I noticed a post on Swedish electro phenom, Din Stalker. Really diggin Herr Reporter and all of its 8-bit glory. Visit his space for more material.
That blog [Too Many Sebastians] got me on an urge to listen to some of that namesake. The Distort edit of SebastiAn's new single followed by Midnight Juggernauts remix on Sebastian Tellier's Divine remedied that storm.
It just so happened that not too far down my playlist is a song that was used as an opener of a dj set by another one of my favorite groups, at my favorite night spot. Simian Mobile Disco playing Sleep Deprivation at Sonotheque (it rocked my socks off).
That for the most part wrapped up my Sunday night. Nothing too exciting, but nothing short of spectacular at the same time. Hope your weekend was at least as fulfilling, and quitcherbitchen.
