Get your freaky electronic celebration on because Gaslamp Killer is dropping an EP on Flying Lotus's imprint Brainfeeder. I've got to say that I've never been so excited for an album from an artist I actually knew less about musically. He dropped one amazing track on the Art Don't Sleep compilation a few years back - a downtempo gypsy trip beat - and ever since then I've just been waiting to find more. Then he dropped a sweet mix for the Stones Throw podcast a year or two ago when the Heliocentrics' debut dropped, which was also excellent.
I've only heard this one song off the new album, but it is reminiscent of the Heliocentrics in so far as it is a sparse, spaced-out, drum-heavy groove that might make stoned tweens lose their minds. By the time the cymbals drop on the latter half of the song the overall effect is vaguely reminscent of classic Venetian Snares jungle played at 3/4 speed. Ridiculous.
Welcome your ears to the digital land of post-apocalyptic milk and honey.
Here's the leaked track: "Anything Goes"
Buy it when it drops on the 4th of August.
