music: Fang Island & Gobble Gobble

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Time for some music!

Alright let me just say I’m not a fan of house parties. The only exception are Ben’s house parties, because they are civilized by way of Bulleit Bourbon and other choice spirits. And excellent music, like this video above. I WANT to be in that room. I’m certain it smells to high heaven of human, but come on, live indie electro? This is QUALITY.
They’re called Gobble Gobble, which is seasonally appropriate. This song is Lawn Knives. I like the way they look, sound, and move. Orange headbands and tambourines. What is is about that MGMT/Ratatat/Midnight Juggernauts sound that is consistently valid? Playful youths? Lack of nuance? It’s why I can listen to Sleigh Bells for three days straight, the problem is though I then need to go on a long break before I come back. Each time I come back though, it’s there with open arms. I wonder if people grow out of this.

FANG ISLAND

Wait the 14 seconds before the song starts, it’s good. Perhaps you’ve already heard these guys. Man Man + Arcade Fire + Sleigh Bells – so pretty similar to Gobble Gobble but with a dose of euphoria similar to listening to Beach House. Seems to be the sound, the check balance to what is happening for the under 40 set at this moment. Appropriate for moments in 500 days of Summer, or automotive adventures, but not really the sound of growing up?

I have no idea what I’m talking about, here are the details: Site | Listen
