wow! seems like we have the pro-electronicky group and the anti-electronicky group. here's what i can promise you: as musicians and artists, we will always be making music, one way or another. we will put care and thought into our harmony, melodies, lyrics, and arrangements. we will never let money dictate the direction of our art. we will make music all the time, as solo artists, and as partners. we will not let genre constrain us. we will make music that we love. we hope you love it, too.

we love you guys. sorry for the long hiatus we've taken from our channel. nataly has been working on a solo record, and i've spent the last year listening to and learning how to make electronic music. both nat and i have been listening to a lot of EDM these days (maybe more me, really), particularly Koan Sound, Kill the Noise, Bar 9, Justice, Swedish House Mafia, and some old stuff, too, like Daft Punk and Aphex Twin. we don't want to become a dubstep band or anything, but we're so fascinated by this new wave of music that we really want to incorporate some of the ideas into our sound. this song is our first attempt at doing so. we hope you dig it! more songs and videos coming soon! thanks for staying tuned!

so i watched that

Such a broad range of exciting and interesting electronic music. I think the dance direction will be a killer section of the Pomplamoose biopic.

(maybe more me, really)

a hint at divisions in the Pomplamoose camp?

If my partner forced me to listen to Justice and Swedish House Mafia, that would lead pretty quickly to hinting at divisions if you know what I mean.

looool otm

I bet they secretly hate Matt and Kim so much

either way, i guarantee they spend a significant amount of time thinking about matt & kim

I want to like what they're doing, though. I think it's interesting to see video accompanying every track. Reminds me of this Anthony Rochester video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fClHllGaWH8

Which is also indiepop for the public radio audience. Somehow it's a lot more charming, though.

I think part of the charm of twee is that it's usually a modest and humble sound. Pamplamoose, however, are seething with false modesty but are actually really privileged, arrogant and narcissistic.

I like that song, though!

EDM-age Pomplamoose hasn't really lived up to my expectations. It seems like a whole new brand of irritation, which is less fun than it would be if they properly supplemented the irritation they already had going on.

Also it's kind of perversely enjoyable at points.

new song and intro text are all very "oh, wrinklepaws" imo

pomplemousee giving a TED talk is like a poorly-formed punchline about 2012

Feel like "do not push" is warning me against something

It's kind of cool how they switched out the music for each (singing Carly Rae over the Gotye verse and Gotye over the Carly Rae chorus). As a Tuesday diversion, pleasant enough.

haha the description of the video cuts off before the artist name so i listened for a couple minutes before realizing i'd been Pomplarolled

they're so married

i totally thought it was gonna be a penis in that box though

obv i quickly forgot what thread i'd clicked to it from also (xpost)

nataly totally did it w/ ryan lerman, you can tell
