Barry: Holy shit. What the fuck is that?
Dick: It’s the new Belle and Sebastian…
Rob: It’s a record we’ve been listening to and enjoying, Barry.
Barry: Well, that’s unfortunate, because it sucks ass.
1. Shlohmo and Jeremih-No More
Shlohmo is an artist I heard of through his original take on Haerts’ hit single “Wings“. True to his name, he slows it down big time and gives it a face-lift. For this track, he teams up with Jeremih, stage name of Jeremih Felton. Jeremih is the brother of Jason Derulo and is the artist behind that song…(sigh) “birthday sex” that you’ve probably heard before. This one loses a little steam toward the ending but the first two minutes features some of the best electronic, club-thumping beats you’ll find in today’s scene.
2. Saint Pepsi-Bieber
A fresh new take on the Biebs. As you would probably guess, not a fan of Justin’s…although I do typically associate with/look up to those who run from the cops in sports cars, resist arrest, and then smile in their mug shot afterward.
Oh Biebs…don’t you remember that song by the Bobby Fuller Four “I fought the law”…well, I guess that song was from 1966
Anyway, enjoy the way Saint Pepsi mixes in the Biebs’s vocals with his trademark synths.
3. LXURY-Never Love
Repetitive but effective. Gotta love all the instrumentals going on…I wouldn’t have thought they’d mix well with this 80’s new wave sounding vocalist but it’s executed very nicely.
