New Bomb The Bass Video - "So Special"

thumbnail icon: New Bomb The Bass Video - "So Special"

Let's just get this out of the way up front: there's a lot of nakedness in this video. OK. So. UK DJ Tim Simenon (better known as Bomb The Bass) is set to release Future Chaos, the first BTB album in 14 years. If you're not up on UK DJs, you might remember his best for "Butterfingers," Future Chaos's awesome first single with Fujiya & Miyagi. Now, he's onto something "So Special" with regular collaborator Paul Conboy. According to the video's directors, Nathalie Teirlinck and Ben Van Alboom, the clip "was inspired by Magnum photographer Burt Glinn's 1971 black and white series on prostitutes in New York. only we took to the streets of Brussels..." We should mention that it's NSFW, unless your work is cool with women writhing around half naked on the floor and folks going back to hotel rooms with stripping trannies. In that case, cool job.

In addition to the shadowy neon-lit streetwalking, BTB is playing their first shows in 20 years at the Astoria in London on 6/4, and will be doing two festivals this summer (the Big Chill dance music festival in the UK, and Lethargy '08 in Zurich). Oh wait nevermind, we forgot -- Electronica's dead.

Future Chaos is forthcoming sometime in May on Tim's own Electric Tones. You can hear more at MySpace.

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Premature Evaluation: of Montreal - Skeletal Lamping

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...
