Mayer Hawthorne covers Chromeo

chromeo

I’m never really sure what to make of bands putting cover versions of their own tracks by other bands on their releases. Did Kitsuné start it?

Here we have Mayer Hawthorne covering Chromeo and Solange Knowles’ ‘When The Night Falls’, taken from Chromeo’s ‘When The Night Falls Single’. Being Chromeo’s single it’s billed as written below, but surely that should be ‘Mayer Hawthorne – When The Night Falls (Chromeo Cover)’, no? Mayer Hawthorne being the artist. But I suppose that would screw up sales in iTunes or something. And as a blogger who am I writing about? Chromeo, or Mayer Hawthorne? Who get’s the picture and the purchase links? Today I’m going with Chromeo as it’s their single, but it does my head in.

Anyhoo, I’m sure you want to know about the music. Luckily after all that it’s pretty damn good. It is quite an achievement to take a Chromeo track and make it smoother, but Mayer Hawthorne manages it, bringing a laid back 70’s Funk to the track. Stick this track on and everything slips into slow motion/

The Twelves’ ‘Kitsuné Tabloid’

‘Kitsuné Tabloid By The Twelves’ is, unsurprisingly the new Tabloid artist mixtape from Kitsuné Music, it’s  (also unsurprisingly) been put together by The Twelves.

We’ve heard it, it’s pretty special.

Here is a 40 second video teaser, which is the most pointless thing in the world, but it’s all you’ve got for now. Don’t let the pointlessness of the video put you off getting excited for the album.

The Twelves’ ‘Kitsuné Tabloid’ album drops 29th August. Stay tuned.

Free Worship tune

In celebration of his newly released, and pretty amazing, On The Fruit Records EP ‘Out There’, Worship has dropped a free tune over on his SoundCloud.

‘Odyssey’ does exactly what it says on the tin. An epic, cosmic, synth Disco jam like an epic battle between squelchy synth slap bass and soaring leads. If all Sci-Fi films had Disco soundtracks this would be the reflecting-on-the-struggles-so-far-and-onward-to-the-final-conflict track.

♫ Worship – Odyssey

Worship’s ‘Out There’ EP is out right now. That shit is highly recommended!

Aimes début album

aimes

Following on from Brooklyn based producer Aimes’ single ‘Every Time When I See You’ comes his just released début album.

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is a raw album, by which I mean it’s electronic, but doesn’t sound sequenced and quantized. It feels like it is being played live on every listen. There’s an excitement and energy that comes with that feeling that suits Aimes, Chillwave, Dreamwave, DiscoPop, Indie-Electro crossover perfectly. A deeply introspective album, both musically and vocally, Aimes conveys a subdued emotional resonance in every song, through chord progression and narrative. You can tell the album is very personal to him. And hey, there’s stuff to dance to here too!

♫ Aimes – Living Like We Do

♫ Aimes – Hard Notes & Love Drugs

♫ Aimes – Wonder Stories

‘Your Floor Is Now A Tree’ is out now on ModyWorks.
