Kevin Smith fights back!

Not a big fan of his work either, but he’s a very funny guy. Wear black and layers, that is indeed good advice.

dEUS - Slow

March 13th, 2008

I’m pretty excited for the new dEUS album, Vantage Point. The Antwerp based band already released their groovy first single The Architect, check their myspace.
I especially like the 2nd single and video for Slow, which features Karin Dreijer Andersson from another great band, The Knife.
Check it (high-res).

Apparat - Walls

March 10th, 2008

If you’re a regular here at Josdigital you know I’m into alternative electronic music, so this is totally my thing.
Sascha Ring aka Apparat is a well known and respected musician in the Berlin based electronic scene. With his latest effort he received a lot of critical acclaim by Pitchfork and the whole blogging community. Rightfully that is, cause Walls is as solid as Radiohead latest, and as timeless as any Boards of Canada record. Last.fm says Apparat recently became “more interested in designing sounds than beats“, which is what attracted me in the first place.

Apparat uses a lot of diverse organic sounds, mostly covered by a mellow downtempo beat, to create a very entertaining listen throughout the album.

Even though every track on this album is equally as great, “Limelight” must probably be my favorite track. In the middle of the track there’s a kind of sporadic handclap in sync with the beat that I find really appealing (kinda reminds my of BoC’s Pete Standing Alone with the robot voice).
Anyway, I highly recommend it to people that spend a lot of time in the car, or just like to chill on a late saturday morning with a self-grained cup of joe.
