Well, here’s a band I didn’t think we’d be covering, but that wasn’t taking Thom Yorke into account. Yorke‘s been working with a lot of electronica lately and this track is laden with influences. It’s hard to pinpoint a style here, but it’s glitchy, off beat and nerveous, the whole being supported by an almost inaudible bassline. One thing is certain though, Yorke‘s continuing to prove how unique his creations can be, and yet so appealing.

Liars will be playing in Brussels’ Botanique on Wednesday the 26th of May.

Dark and moody, atmospheric, haunting,… the adjectives just stack up for this one by Warp’s most recent addition. The slow, deep groove takes you on a cinematic trip down a dark passage. Vancouver’s Cameron Reed’s first EP, “Shaved”, dropped earlier this month. Below you’ll find the title track, my favorite from the EP.

The video really captures the eery and dramatic feel of the music, adding another layer to the impact it has. It was produced by a motion picture collective named SALAZAR, also based in Vancouver. Their focus has been on music videoclips and other narrative work, and they’ve recently expanded their territory into advertising. Be sure to check the rest of their work, it’s equally awesome.
