New from the DFA...

dragon rmx and triumph/wrong galaxy are awesome. I never picked up "chasm"

Russom dropping 'chasm' last week was amazing.

The Serge Santiago mix of "Simple Things" is one of my favorite things DFA have ever put out.

Anyone hear the Holy Ghost EP? "Static on the Wire" is nice

Anyone hear the Holy Ghost EP? "Static on the Wire" is nice

that song is ok, "I Will Come Back" I totally love, though

Really loving "I Know, I Hear"- does anyone know what the sample at the start of the track is from? It sounds really familiar but I can't place it ("prophet five, factory programs, January 1982, file one")

Thanks for the heads up on that Holy Ghost EP. It's nice to hear DFA-style dance tracks that don't beat you over the head with genre touchstones and hipster shoutouts but are still fun to listen to.

I want a proper vinyl release of I will come back!

lol @ barbara kruger style cover art also!

^i love it

should have probably loosed at that EP first. but otherwise, good :)

for ppl who may not have grabbed them off HG!'s blog a while back, f0ur unre1eased Ho1y Gh0st! remixe5

thxU

I know "I Will Come Back" was done for an ad tie-in, but hearing it in a radio commercial was still weird

man that holy ghost 'stat on the wire' is a banger

ik,r?

Album is surely gonna turn up sometime soon?

i have a pretty short attn span and i'm abt 20% as excited as i would have been had they released it like a 6 months ago

That's a little harsh - I think they were kinda fucked up by Jerry Fuchs's death which put everything back.

yeah i guess :-(

i hear your voice in fragments darlin

new shit robot album is streaming here: http://www.dfarecords.com/promo/dfa2253/

awesome

"Take 'Em Up" is awesome indeed

this sounds pretty great

that Michoacan record. look, i like unconventional singers, but really if this is the absolute best you can do vocally then you really should be getting someone else in to do the singing part.

that tbd twelve is good though!

The Shit Robot album arrived in the post today. The basslines are so gloopy it's unreal.

WANT

The track with Alexis Taylor is better than anything on the last Hot Chip LP pretty much. And I really like that album.

love the peter gordon 12" (well, i got myself the aac's) - never knew that a collaboration with arthur russell would be on the flip. it's a riot.

Got that Peter Gordon 12" two days ago, it is so great.

Also, it'd be interesting to do DFA POX after 4 and a half years of thread inactivity. Don't know what I'd choose.

i think a lot would be fairly recent stuff, esp from last summer which was such a great dfa moment imo.

adore the fleetwood mac refs on HG!'s 'i know i hear'

curious to hear that Bruno Pronsato record

Is that the NDF thing? If so, it's a strange one (but very pretty). Very quiet, with a beat that sounds like a brush on a snare drum; sort of a hushed shuffle. There are some very indie sad-sack vocals on the top about running into a girl he used to know in the street or something like that. It goes on for ten minutes but doesn't build necessarily. There is an 18 minute Ricardo Villalobos remix as the b-side.

hmm. yes that's the one I meant. doesn't sound so great.

from your description I mean. I haven't heard it.

I like the NDF 12" but I agree it's confusing, as with a good deal of Pronsato's work it doesn't sit comfortably in a dancefloor set. The other guy in NDF is called Sergio and did that great Birds and Souls 12" on Spectral earlier this year.

I didn't mean to undersell it so badly, it really is pretty and unique. But by no means would it belong anywhere near a dancefloor.

The other element which I forgot about when I originally described it is that it has these very echo-y field recording style samples that almost sound like they were taped in a locker room or a warehouse or something.

It's all very spare. Even though it sounds nothing like it, it reminded me of that Pantha du Prince song with Panda Bear singing on it.

i like the NDF a lot

maxreax will probably be real into it

~smokes a doob & thinks abt internet homie~

bruno pronsato's "the make up/the break up" was the best thing to happen to electronic music last year

shit robot album cover kinda awesome

Ugh when is it going to leak?? DFA took the album stream down a while back for some reason.

the Shit Robot leaked many moons ago. there are only a couple good songs on it. the best on is the song Nancy sings on. someone please give her a solo LP on dfa. she deserves it.

I show it added to iTunes on July 20 so it must have leaked a day or so before then.

maybe it was a rip of the stream. it's not in the usual places so it's probably 160 kbps or something. I loved it while streaming at work but who knows.
