Aesop Rock All Day: Nike + Original Run

Aesop Rock built this 45-minute track to entertain joggers and inspire them to buy lots and lots of Nikes. The track has most of the right elements, but the potholes tend to wear out the music’s momentum. Aesop hires an acid-rock band to play some downer blues, and there are moments when everything clicks, but his stress-rap rhymes are too fragmented and he overindulges in bugged-out synth wanks. This iTunes exclusive serves as better listening for the couch during drowsy, unemployed days than it does a morning run.

In the Studio: Asphodel and Recombinant Media Labs

In part one of a series, XLR8R Technology editor Ken Taylor takes you on a tour of one of electronic art’s finest facilities, Asphodel and Recombinant Media Labs. Comprised of an unprecedented 16.8.2 -channel, 10-screen surround-cinema performance environment with an external control room, a suite full of new and old synthesizers (all in mint condition), a DVD- and CD-mastering studio and a recording studio with top-of-the-line equipment spanning nearly every era of electronic music, Asphodel and RML is a sound artist’s dream come to life. While the technology is impressive, it’s only one aspect of what makes these studios special. We’ll explore the facility further in future episodes.

Simian Mobile Disco Preps Debut LP

The English and French have been busy cultivating a scene that has been embraced by the next generation of dance fanatics. Jas Shaw and James Ford (a.k.a Simian Mobile Disco) have been at the head of the pack and after a stint of immaculately successful 12”s and remixes, the electro-house duo is unleashing its first long-player. Slated for release on Wichita (Bloc Party, The Blood Brothers), Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release is going to go completely insane for the duo’s gritty analog magic.

This full-length is an interesting venture for the production kingpins, considering the fact that not all of the major names involved with the blossoming “new rave” circuit have released long-players. With blog downloads across the board, MySpace plays that outnumber those of many major-label acts, and producing bands like Klaxons, SMD has become far more than a household name even when pitted against the boys’ hyped contemporaries.

The UK-based duo has already amassed a resume comparable to many legendary electronic producers. Releasing singles for Kitsuné and remixing artists from Muse to The Rapture to The Go! Team, SMD has garnered a following similar to the Ed Banger crew. Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release will no doubt have kids on their feet, from France to the US.

Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release is out June 18 on Wichita.

Daily Download: Dolby-Anol “Heather, I’m Dry”

Dolby-Anol is the chip right off of the electro-psych block. This Glasgow-based duo composes the most righteous analog-house, sample-shuffling dance tracks this side of Simian Mobile Disco. Taken from the boys’ Tigerbass debut Dolby & Gabbana, “Heather, I’m Dry” is imbued with layers of colorful synth-dirge and bleeping chaos from the cosmos.

Amon Tobin Foley Room

Advancing far beyond his sound-manipulation past, Amon Tobin has created an experimental masterpiece of cinematic proportions. Foley Room (the space where sound effects are recorded for films) sequences source material (wasps buzzing, tigers roaring, chickpeas falling) and then distorts and manipulates it into epic piano-driven scores. Tobin’s strength as a composer is best illustrated on the track “Straight Psyche,” a drone-heavy Krautrocker that moves from arpeggio guitars through densely reverberated drums and into schizophrenic vocal whispers-all while keeping a loose groove that rekindles the trippiest moments of Can.
