the workweek starting off right

13 & God - Tin Strong [from s/t lp]

My song selection method is basically whatever pops up on my iTunes/Pod, so it will be wonderfully eclectic. For instance, this: I wrote about this album when it came out, but I happened to be listening to and digging this song today. If you don't know, this was the collab between German indietronica crew the Notwist and Yay Area freak-hoppers Themselves. The majority of the album is strongly geared towards one or the other, but the sounds really blend finally in this track, with Chipmunks-style flows over a glitchy, glimmering synth production. If you've heard the new TV On The Radio demos floating around recently, I think they sound a bit like this. Speaking of which, though I really liked this album as a debut, I think it could have been more solidified in a followup. I've got a Hvratski remix from one of their singles, but other than that, I know nothing of 13 & God past this album. Any news?
