Premiere: New Track from The Gods Themselves

November 8, 2016 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

The Gods Themselves are readying the preparation of Be My Animal, which is being released early next year, and with that, they’re taking aim at “tech boys” with their latest single. Musically, it reminds me a lot of a Chromeo meeting up with Electric Six…hitting hard with an electro crunch and a soulful vocal drawl. The song deals with the band’s disenchantment with the influx of tech industry and its workers into the city of Seattle (take note Austin readers!); the band are none too happy with the bravado and entitlement that’s been brought into their city. Still, what makes a great track is its ability to sneak under your skin and stay there. Look for the group’s new LP on January 20th of next year.

Playful Jam from Chromeo

October 23, 2013 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I know it’s only humpday, but I already feel bogged down this week, so I’m looking to the feel good tunes of Chromeo to get me through the rest of the day. The duo has always had a soft spot in my heart, with “Mama’s Boy” being one of my favorite tracks. The group’s always employed a fun spin on the world, and they don’t stop with this tune, commenting on a popular social butterfly…I’m thinking they’re nodding to Kim K. You can hear this tune, and what I assume will be more hits, when the band release White Women, their latest LP.

New Club Hit from Super Melody

September 2, 2011 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

At the beginning of August I brought you a nice little number from Super Melody, the new project from James, formerly of Architecture in Helsinki. His debut, Destination Unknown, is slated to hit stores next week. You’re going to really dig this record if you’re into the sort of thing Chromeo does to the dance floor. It’s definitely got that electronic-R&B vibe, meant to get you moving. Considering its Friday, we should all put our dancing shoes on now, moving on into the long Labor Day weekend.

New Song from Sugar & Gold

February 1, 2011 nathan.lankford One comment

I know, I know, I’ve been claiming this year for guitar-oriented rock, as opposed to dance-influenced stuff, but I just can’t get this song out of my head at the moment, so I thought I’d send it your way. Sugar & Gold are from San Francisco, and they’ll be offering up their Bodyaches EP on March 8th. Listening to this track, it’s part Twin Shadow and part Chromeo. I know, that seems like an odd mixture, and one that might not necessarily work, but there’s just this infectious little groove kicking around that makes me tap my toe. I’ll admit, sometimes you just want to tap your toes.

Chromeo @ Stubbs (8/24)

August 24, 2010 RayRay Leave a comment

Date	8/24/10
Location	Stubbs
Doors	7pm
Tickets	$25 @ Frontgate

Tuesday night is a busy night for music in Austin and a show by Chromeo at Stubbs should be tops on your list of choices. The DJ/band duo will of course be backed by a full band so the show will be more than just a DJ set for sure. Joining the band on stage you’ve got Holy Ghost! and Telephoned. Tickets are still on sale for this one so online or at the door should work. In the mean time, check out an interview we did with Chromeo to preview the show.
