This is a remixed track from the just released Hot Chip EP ‘We’re Looking For A Lot Of Love’. This remix itself doesn’t add much new sonically to the original track though it does provide a bit more of an improvised, live sound to the original mopey beauty that is featured on the album ‘Made In The Dark’. Download the track by visiting this link and be sure to get the entire EP here.
Vid from a recent discovery (for me, at least) by Head Like A Kite. Makes me think of early Beck and Folk Implosion. Good stuff - latest album to be released sometime this summer,
I was randomly searching youtube for some of my old faves and came across this gem:
New material from His Name is Alive? Wonderful, I’ll take it. Though I didn’t care *too* much for the bluesy stuff from late, this video really caught my attention as it’s a return to form to the Mouth By Mouth sound of twitchy out-of-place poprock. Curious still, I visit the official website and find an entire EP available for free via SendSpace… and yes it is official, yes it is legal… and yes it is very good.
found on: “Only I Can Save You” on Prix Fixe Records file under: Indietronic, Pop refer to:Dntel, Elvis Costello additional: Submitted from the artist himself.
I found it rather amusing that reviews of his work also referred to Dntel and Costello as similar artists because there is simply no other way to put it.
I chose this track as the one to highlight because it shows Todds ability to bring together sounds and ideas into one space and to have it all come together without sounding contrived or stale (and this isn’t due to the fact that it is well produced).
Imagine the sound of a chrome covered spaghetti western dipped in bleach and you might be close. Or not.
Great lyrics, great hook and just a little bit of necessary grit makes for a damn fine download.
