Huh? What a strange combination of musicians working together. Whatever, it certainly works for me. I really dig this song, but not for the reason I first expected. I originally thought this was going to be a "Cudi" track but, to my surprise, the best part of this song is Bethany Cosentino's hook. In addition, Rostam Batmanglij's production is just superb. Check it out!
Coming out September 14th, there is no other album I am more looking forward to than Of Montreal's False Priest. I am actually predicting that it will turn out to be in Pitchfork's Top 5 records of the year. Why such a bold prediction? Well, for one, their 2007 release, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? placed number 5 on their top 50 albums list for that year. Second, the first two cuts released from the album are spectacular in every way. Lastly, Of Montreal are just awesome. Enough said. Check out "Coquet Coquette" and “Hydra Fancies" now!
I watched Greenberg, the recent indie Ben Stiller film, last night. I was quite impressed... not with the movie, but rather the music. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. Easily one of the best soundtracks I have heard in a long time. Perhaps it was so well done because James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem put it together. The one song that really stood out to me was Galaxie 500's "Strange," which I had never heard previously. It fits the embodiment of Ben Stiller's character so appropriately in Greenberg. Not to mention, it's just a great song.
