Faux Pas - Entropy Begins At Home

August 26th, 2007

Knowing that Tim Shiel, the mind behind Faux Pas, completed this album in a 4 months time frame, you’d think it’s not worth your time. But Entropy Begins At Home is pretty impressive, this fun electronic joint has been playing non-stop in my car radio for the past weeks.

“Essentially it’s a psychedelic experience, a musical alchemy intended to depict vivid colors and bizarre patterns, euphoria through altered states of consciousness, and the clarity and directness with which Faux Pas juxtaposes and moves through different strands of music heightens the experience. It’s also, and this is the key part, incredibly pleasurable to listen to, in almost any circumstance.” stylusmagazine.com

I discovered Faux Pas via the lovely Scissorkick blog, bought it and haven’t regret it.
Word is Tim has plans to release another in the near future, you can read about all things Faux Pas on Tim’s blog.

I really don’t know much about these guys, only that they have some very fun and original music videos like this one, Solo Impala (youtube/mov).
Directed by Jakob Printzlau from Plastic Kid, an impressive portfolio.

Apparently they’re a Danish band who had a critically acclaimed, in Denmark that is, debut album entitled Rock Rock Kiss Kiss Combo and recently released their follow-up.

Follow me after the jump for their other 2 videos, Letters From The Ambulance and Like Knives.

Dyno is Sol Waters

August 12th, 2007

Dyno is a Belgium based hiphop artist who has been in the business for a while but just recently, early 2007, released his debut album Dyno is Sol Waters.
There’s no doubt that Dyno’s influenced by more than one musical style. As his alter ego Sol Waters he uses a mixture of hiphop with a jazzy touch, soul, some organic downtempo electronica and a lot of dedication to create a solid head nodding debut album.

It’s strange that Dyno has been in my queue for a while but just now got to it, maybe because I don’t listen to hiphop music as much as I used to.Surely not because Dyno is my biological brother.
Anyway check out the album, streamable on last.fm and the likes(itunes link).
Also check his new, harder on the drums, Onetwentyfive EP, which was available free for limited time.
