Out Hud

Yes, we've been decidedly less "scene" and more "old hat" lately, but never you mind, dear reader - come christmas mix time (there will be a detailed explanation soon on "christmas mixes" soon) there will be plenty of shiny new crap to digest. You'll love it.

But for now, let me share my love with you for Out Hud. To start, think !!! with most the university dropout 'sass' removed. Also mix in some trip hop, millions of layers of synthy sounds, and some amazingly hot, drawn out ambielectro grooves. Out of California (in the U.S), and having the general DFA/LCD Soundsystem links most of this scene has, these guys are simply incredible.

Their newest works (i think they've broken up/are dormant now) Let Us Never Speak of It Again picked up the pulse a bit on 2002's S.T.R.E.E.T.D.A.D but the general vibe is still there and its incredible. I'm loving the instrumentation, as synthesised as it all is. Its just on the cusp of danceability. I find myself as i type, bopping away like a knob though. the grooves are perfect, but don't have that intense, loudness to it that you drop acid to and thrust people you don't know and get kicked out of da club.

Regardless, get into it.
