Electronic Pop | House
Wonderful use of samples and excellent manipulation of sonic elements make this track unique. Skylar’s voice is the reason I’ve liked the very top 40 collaborations (e.g., Love the Way You Lie by Eminem) she’s done in the past. This track is taken from her forthcoming album, “Invinsible”.
Slightly punk, slightly LCD Soundsystem, slightly Human League-esque vocals but oh so hypnotic is this track by Diamond Rings (aka John O’Reagan).
Diamond Rings – Something Else
bio from The Line of Best Fit
Diamond Rings is the musical alter-ego of Toronto-based multiplatform artist John O, first conceived in the summer of 2009. A 7″ and home-made video for his first bedroom-recorded single “All Yr Songs” helped to propel Diamond Rings into the spotlight, first garnering attention from Canadian blogs like Chromewaves, and then eventually a “Best New Music” honors from Pitchfork. The 7″ was issued as split with fellow Ontario musicians PS I Love You on O’Regan’s own boutique label, Hype Lighter.
Directed by Colin Medley and Jared Raab.
Make-Up by Lisa Howard.
With a strong Talking Heads vibe, Datarock creates one catchy rock song that has been stuck in my head all weekend long.
