Populous

June 21st, 2006 zach.garner


“”Queue For Love” (Populous’ second album) is a triumph of the DIY ethos. After all, Andrea Mangia is just a kid with a computer and an incorruptible taste. “Queue For Love” isn’t pure sampledelia, though. A lot of the guitars, e-bows and glockenspiels on this album have been recorded in the bathroom of Populous’ tiny student apartment…and singer Matilde…recorded her gorgeous vocals for “Bunco” and “Clap Like Breeze”, turning the music into an amalgam of Broadcast, The Cocteau Twins and a crazy-in-love DJ Shadow.”

Radium 88

Their website says: sci-fi trip-hop. Trip hop for me was one of the genres that somehow mostly missed the boat. Radium88 took their own boat. Thankfully.

Flunk

May 6th, 2006 zach.garner


I’m not against electronic music per se, in fact my background was heavily industrial. But so much electronic music being churned out today is over polished, over produced, and under-imaginative. Fortunately there are always those rare gems like Flunk that make the new genre worth while.
