Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions

May 14th, 2011. By Martin

Mayer Hawthorne with yet another fantastic effort, this time in the form of the “Impressions” cover EP.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions EP (Mediafire)

1. Work To Do
This one features my live band, The County: Quentin Joseph on drums, Topher Mohr on guitar, Quincy McCrary on piano, and Joe Abrams on bass. It was recorded live in a radio station studio somewhere during our Winter 2010 US tour. The tapes recently surfaced, but nobody can remember exactly where we were. The song is originally by The Isley Brothers, and that’s the only version I was familiar with until we started playing it in our live shows and people would come up to us and say “hey, loved your cover of Average White Band!”.

2. Don’t Turn The Lights On
My favorite track from Chromeo’s latest LP. On the surface it’s an electro-funk, dance floor filler, but underneath is a brilliant love ballad with lyrics that reminded me of something from Tyrone Davis. Dave1 (of Chromeo) told me the song is about a guy who falls in love with a ghost, so I wanted my version to have an eerie, ghostly feel to it. Quincy McCrary played the creepy piano solo at the end.

3. You’ve Got The Makings Of A Lover
Textbook Northern Soul from a little known Dallas, Texas group called The Festivals. I was digging for records in NY with my homey DJ Kurse, and the shopkeeper played the 45 in the store. Both of us immediately ran up to the counter and said “yo! what is THAT?!”. The original version was recorded in the late 60s, and the mix isn’t very good. I wanted a version that I could bump. Quentin Joseph played the drums and we recorded them at Sam Beaubien’s studio in Detroit. That’s Sam playing the trumpet as well.

4. Fantasy Girl
This song was written and composed by an amazing man from Pasadena named Steve Salazar. He was born with a heart condition and passed away at the young age of 27. Before he died he recorded one incredible album of demos in the mid-70s with a band called Shorty’s Portion. Peanut Butter Wolf found a copy of the album and I loved it so much that he gave it to me (thanks Wolf!). The vinyl had a handwritten note tucked in the sleeve that was addressed to anyone who could help the band with management, a record deal, radio airplay, etc. I’d estimate there were less than 300 copies pressed. That’s my Dad playing pedal steel guitar and Topher Mohr shredding the guitar solo on my version.

5. Little Person
Jon Brion is not from this planet. He penned this song for the soundtrack to Charlie Kaufman’s film “Synecdoche, NY”. I didn’t get the film at all, but I really got the soundtrack. The original has only female vocal and piano, but I always heard a larger arrangement. Hubert Alexander played some of the piano and I did everything else.

6. Mr. Blue Sky
This one also features my band, The County, and was recorded live, in one take, in a tiny makeshift tent, at a festival in Dour, Belgium.

Moombahsoul

May 14th, 2011. By Martin

It’s been a while since we posted something from Kansas City producer/dj Brent Tactic but we haven’t forgotten about him, so when this smooth moombahsoul number popped up over at Couch Sessions we decided it was time for him to shine here on Discobelle again.

“Kansas City’s own Brent Tactic mixes 30 minutes of moombahsoul, guaranteed to invite even the most hardened anti-moombahton fanatic to groove. Tracks from artists as diverse as Curtis Mayfield, Troop, Chris Brown, Aretha Franklin, and the Notorious BIG have been re-imagined with a tropical sway, and provide intriguing listens. As a DJ, Tactic’s weekly Sunday parties at Kansas City’s Californos bar/club follow the standard of moombahton’s spread, functions that blend the best parts of LA’s Do Over with the best impulses of classic era DC punk Food for Thought Sunday matinees.”

When Saints Go Machine – Kelly

May 13th, 2011. By Brendan

Some kind of collective consciousness thing going on about the use of the name “Kelly” in pop music in the past few years – Van She were the last ones to pen a summer anthem of sorts about budding teen sexuality (remember that video?), and now When Saints Go Machine have made a remarkably good summer anthem (presumably) about nervous kids making out with each other.

If there’s any justice in the world this track will catch on as the runaway infectious tech-pop jam of the summer. A bubbling nostalgia inducer, this track carries more sunshine and bounce than anything I’ve heard from WSGM or their dance-music centric alter egos Kenton Slash Demon for that matter. Of course, even though this may be their foray into full pop mode, the song’s most interesting and catchy points are the times where they wade into slightly more obscure territory with their formula, sticking some clanking distortion in between their verses.

But god damn is it catchy. “Make-a-playlist-with-solely-that-track-on-replay” catchy. The only criticism I can mount against this track is that it’s agonizing that they chose to fade the track out at only three and a half minutes in. Extended dance 12″ please? Hopefully, that vinyl will soon exist and this track will be blasting from commercial radio stations everywhere while fireworks go off over the horizon.

Download it from below, their album’s out on K7! in June.
