A few weeks ago Metronomy released their 3rd Album The English Riviera. Of all songs my personal favourite is The Look. The other song is an older one, but this superb remix by Discodeine is too good to be left out. One of the guys responsible for the remix is Pilooski, a name you should be familiar with, who appears to be one half of Discodeine.
words by chrome: it just me or is music undergoing an epic transformation? and i do not mean, the emergence of different styles or new so called genres, but i feel like music in general, with all the new emerging artists, is more and more becoming like the sound we have been playing at YUM YUM ever since we started. Its has finally become more about feeling and emotion and good vibes, not images, roles and imaginary characters, that have a bitter, artificial taste after you have ‘consumed’ them and their music, or other silly temporary clichees. Its simply about doing something, basically anything you feel like out of inner inspiration, and mostly if you do it out of the good selfish reasons, like doing it for yourself, for the fun of it – with or without the acceptance of the outside world, you cannot go wrong – you will do something good, bc you are not chasing an ideal, participating in a rat race, or trying to be as efficent as possible.
Here is another new artist that feels like love. She is there and she will do her thing with or without you, and thats what non manipulative music is all about. It is simply there without the need to convince you, that listening to it will somehow enhance your self esteem or make you part of some elite clique. The vibes and frequencies of selfless music far surpass all worldly longings. Its will not dazzle you or put a spell on you, it will simply add to the fun you are already having.
When i heard about her for the first time, it was actually just a remix, which would be impossible to find. But then i accidentally stumbled upon the original, which was already released last summer. And trust me, not even the creepy girls in the video could stop me from playing it seven times in a row!
