For your HEALTH

health2

When noise-poppers HEALTH debuted with their album “Get Color” waaaaay back in 2007 (I know, who rememebrs 2007, how ancient) they made a brilliant move and quickly followed up with an album of remixes that was arguably stronger than the debut disc.  If you’re not familiar with HEALTH they make a plaintive brand of noise pop that’s electrified by darkly clever beats, angular guitars, wavy effects, and super fuzzy synths. Their resume boasts a choice slot as opener’s on one of NIN’s last tours.  Check out this remixed version of ‘Before Tigers’ off their sophomore disc, “Get Colors”.

Krink x MINI

With most corporate giants doing it wrong and missing the mark completely, it’s refreshing when someone actually gets it right.

Kudos to you MINI. Well done indeed.

Relvnt Videos

I’ve noticed a new trend in music vid production lately, the super minimal video. Whether its because the obsolete cash strapped labels are cutting costs by slashing promo budgets or artists are tipping their caps to the age of information overload there are a lot of videos dropping that feature establishes and emerging artists in productions with deceptively simple conceits. Above is the latest from Jarvis Cocker, the original purveyor of geek-chic and front man of Britpop legends Pulp, getting squished up for his latest single ‘Further Complications’.

Here’s the Arctic Monkey’s Alex Turner crooing to the camera with the Humbug ballad ‘Cornerstone’:

The trend isn’t confined to just visually minimal vids. Here’s Clipse’s ‘I’m Good’. Notice the whole video is shot handheld, tight frames, and all available light:
