‘Jim’ is Jamie Lidell’s third & latest album effort out on prolific English label Warp Records. Lidell ditches the electronics much of his early work had for a more raw, organic, heart-felt mixture of soul & r&b that shows his growth as a musician and singer. This is a very good crossover album that may even appeal to fans of Amy Winehouse or the like…
The first single off the album, ‘Little Bit Of Feelgood’, is released with official remixes by Mr. Oizo & Senor Coconut. Here is the original album version.
British indietronica boys Hot Chip new record, ‘Made in the Dark’ dropped last week and, oh man, it’s the jam. Released on Astralwerks (they can do no wrong!), ‘Made in the Dark’ takes us through the the dark and the light—providing soft and thoughtful hymns that leave our ears dilated and inexpectant for the next blazing and glorious indie/dance groove. In other terms, the new record is a exciting and joyful music journey.
Anyone recall, ‘Shake a Fist’ that we hosted briefly last year? That track holds down track 2 among thirteen. Still fantastic, but let’s have another, a beautiful indie pop song titled, ‘Ready for the Floor’, with it’s official remixes by Floridian Hollertronix homeboy Diplo, the undeniably supreme Ghentlemen Soulwax and German houser Jesse Rose. Additionally a fine bootleg electro remix from one Marian Pramberger out of Austria.
And for good measure—because we’re still not sick of this remix, and ’cause our missingtoof girl got a buncha Grammys last week—we’re bringing back Hot Chip’s remix of ‘Rehab’. So heat.
Amy Winehouse rocks the missing toof & you know we ain’t mad at her for that. She also has a penchant for drinking, hard drugs & Ghostface. That’s wifey material right there.
Despite the recent pics of Amy surfacing in the media lately, Bumpsdick swears that “she looked hot as hell from 50 yards in Coachella”.
