so MGMT are back with their new single "Flash Delirium", its not what i expected if i'm honest, its better! i was kinda expecting them to hit the same formula again, and just re write "kids" but they didnt, this reminds me alot of Whirlwind Heat, which is a great thing. its free to download from their site HERE
so yer just a quick sorry for my lack of posts, but i'm in america, will do my best to keep the blogs flowing, boaboa and the guys, will hopefully do their best too
Ive Mentioned this band before but words can't describe just how much i like their debut album "Unicorn". There obviously not lacking in confidence as you won't find their previous two singles (Salt Air and Solo) on the album. Its a great dark sounding synth record, the three piece have provided one of my favorite debuts in a long while.The band are currently touring with Delphic and have as headline tour scheduled for April. Go check them out.
So last night i went and saw Local Natives who were fantastic. Genuinely tight, the vocals were some of the best i've ever heard live and they really went for it. The lead singer/ guitairist bloke also had one of the most hypnotic and mesmerizing moustaches i have ever seen, but that is another blog post all together.
Anyway, the crowd were absolute shit. Motionless. Not even a foot tap or a head nod in sight. After getting told off for "pushing" my way to the front, i had a feeling it was going to be one of those nights. I dont expect them to be going off (above), but it was really akward to be in the room, i cant even imagine how the band felt? Totally sold out show, one of my favourite bands of last year and im feeling bad for singing and moving around more than having to adjust my fringe. What an embarrassment.
Rant over, now onto someone awesome, Mayer Hawthorne. This guy rules. I've posted loads of his stuff on here but i couldnt give a monkeys, his new video for "I Wish It Would Rain" is golden. Ginger John and his brother got a taste of the tune before Dark Party opened on Saturday and were caining me for it, but whatever, he smashes it:
The only criticism of his album "A Strange Araangement", is that this song isnt on it. But thats o.k because you can download it here:
so being a bit of a vimeo fiend now i've been looking through stuff and seeing what i can find...and then i found this, Miami Horror, another band from OZ with that nice synth electro sound. the single "Sometimes" is great, have a listen, real nice light feel to it. sure to be playing it out over the weekend
