MP3: The xx – Open Eyes (Demo)
On June 13th, Manchester “heavy pop” band WU LYF (standing for World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) released their highly anticipated debut album, Go Tell Fire to the Mountain to much critical acclaim, and now, they have released a music video for the song “We Bros”. Check out the video below or go here to purchase the album.
After only recently releasing a collaboration with Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, it appears DOOM (formerly MF DOOM) has done a rare video interview with Red Bull that lasts a whopping hour and forty minutes long. Often an enigma, DOOM reveals his process for writing songs, the reason for the mask, and the ideas behind his supervillain personas. It’s awkward at times (especially the intro where ego trip Magazine’s Chairman Jefferson Mao plays “Beef Rapp” for the audience to vibe to), but the masked rapper does drop a few notable tidbits of information, including a possible diss track from Viktor Vaughn to DOOM (for the uninitiated, both are alter-egos of DOOM). He also notes that the new Madvillain record is almost completed and should be wrapped up in January.
Check out the video below.
It’s been a great time recently for left-field electronic music with releases from the likes of Tim Hecker, Emeralds, and now a new album from the always experimental Oneohtrix Point Never. His new album, Replica, will be out November 8th via Software.
Check it out below.
Head over here to stream Atlas Sound‘s new album Parallax. Atlas Sound is the solo project of Deerhunter lead singer Bradford Cox, who’ll be releasing his third album next week November 8th on 4AD Records. Also on the page are descriptions of four songs off the album from Cox himself in which he reveals ideas that were involved in his making of the album and collaborations with MGMT member Andrew Vanwyngarden.
Those saddened by the recent Ben Gibbard/Zooey Deschanel split need not be saddened anymore. For the tenth anniversary of Lex Records, Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have collaborated with the one and only DOOM to create a track titled “Retarted Fren”. The song, which you can hear over here, features DOOM rapping over a beat much akin to Yorke’s recent endeavors.
Yorke and DOOM have previously collaborated on a remix of DOOM’s “Gazzillion Ear”, which you can hear by clicking right here.
