Sach O: Hotflush goes Back & 4th

Sach O wishes he could look so easily disaffected. In the liner notes to Hotflush’s new compilation, there’s lots of talk about the label being a musical outlier. While I won’t disagree that their biggest success stories Mount Kimbie and Joy Orbison stand apart from easy genre classifications, I’d also posit that the label’s best… Continue reading »

Belated Bookkeeping

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbuoBm3eP5E I still haven’t written anything substantive about Off the Books and probably won’t. Reviewing your own show is tacky and no one believes you anyway.

Sach O: Mount Kimbie – Crooks & Lovers

Sach O prefers police and thieves. This will not be your standard Mount Kimbie review – mostly because I’m not head-over-heels in love with the band and also because I don’t think their debut album Crooks & Lovers is a welcome sign of dubstep’s evolution in the face of perceived stagnation. Whereas most Internet critics… Continue reading »

Mount Kimbie – “Fields”

Consider it the highest compliment that the London-based duo of Mount Kimbie have produced a record as good as its album cover, which answers the question of what happened to the leopard Granny Panty-wearing seductress who pinned down DJ Qualls in Road Trip.  Fans of BBW’s in red track suits, sad guitars over broken beats,… Continue reading »
