New Silent League - "Here's A Star (Neon Indian Remix)"

thubmnail icon: New Silent League - "Here's A Star (Neon Indian Remix)"

Brooklyn septet the Silent League are releasing album three But You've Always Been The Caretaker on 9/22 via Something in Construction. As most bands do these days, they asked a few folks to remix some of the collection's tracks, including StarsLikeFleas and Helado Negro, and this take on "Here's A Star" by Neon Indian, aka Alan Palomo, who's accompanied by video artist Alicia Scardetta when she has a chance to show her videos. Remember, kids, semi-anonymous electro-toting bedroom dance parties are the new black. (I refuse to use the term "glo-fi" because it gives me douche chills to the shitcore.)

While we're here taking the zeitgeist's pulse and it's especially humid out there, make sure to grab "Deadbeat Summer," which will appear on Neon Indian's Psychic Chasms.

It's also where you'll find "Terminally Chill":

This shit would have been considered weak techno in 1993. You cannot be serious.

Not bad. It's kind of a mellow techno and not as annoying as you think it would be.

oh god. PLEASE do not let this be the new music craze. i really liked the whole 'lo-fi poppy garage-y noise punk', or whatever the fuck you wanna call it surge we had not too long ago, but this? i don't think i can handle this kind of crap being the new trend. sorry, it just doesn't do it for me.

"terminally chill" sounds like "what a fool believes." good thing? probably.
