THE GO! TEAM
Rolling Blackouts

It’s been nearly three and a half years since their last album, but next February The Go! Team returns with a new full-length, Rolling Blackouts. Frantic, seesaw brass stabs and delay-pedal vapor trails: this new album is epic and bratty, subtle and sweet. From the two-minute opening slammer of T.O.R.N.A.D.O. to the album’s title track featuring Bethany Cosentino (Best Coast), it’s all restless and relentless energy. Cosentino also lends vocals to Buy Nothing Day, a hyper girls-in-the-garage jangle, while rising Tampa rapper Dominique Young Unique dominates the psych hip-hop call and response of Voice Yr Choice and goes tag-team on the string-led space race of Apollo Throwdown. Deerhoof‘s Satomi Matsuzaki leads the way on Secretary Song, evoking an asymmetrical Tokyo office with elevators opening on the beat, typing in time and phones ringing in rhythm. With Ready to Go Steady, the Team delivers their first straight-ahead love song, a nimble pocket-rocket symphony.

GIRL TALK All Day

So here we are again: new release for Girl Talk and again we can’t do without celebrating Greg Gillis‘ mix-and-match skills. Yes, again we have to say that the beauty of Girl Talk‘s All Day is its perfect blend of post-modern absurdity and pure entertainment: mixing and morphing among a deep vein of ’80s pop classics, ’90s alternative and ’00s hip-hop tracks, Gillis’ new musical Frankenstein project recycles many of the hooks he used on his first LP (Jackson 5, Bananarama, Ludacris and Beastie Boys) Girl Talk demonstrates (again) that his ability to churn out infectious mash-ups capable of turning even the stiffest blokes into dancing machines has grown to heaven.
