Exclusive: Onomatopoeia Playlist Series: Vol.6 – “Online Dating"

Wow it’s been six months since I last shared a new playlist, it was October, almost Halloween and the long winter was just about to get started with us. Well It’s late April now and we are starting to hit those much needed sunny days so it only seemed right I buckle down and finish this extended edition to make up for the long gap with something to play on those outdoor adventures and road trips.  Online Dating is what I’m calling Vol.6 in the series and its an eclectic eighty-eight song long mix including five and a half hours of music from the past, present and future, spanning a wide range of genera’s that's sure to have a little something for every internet personality.

Listen: Faith No More – “Motherfucker”

Leave it to Faith No More to return with their first new music since 1998 and go with a name like “Motherfucker” for their lead single. Bassist Bill Gould will be producing the record himself which will be recorded in the band's Oakland rehearsal space and released on their own imprint, Reclamation Records.

Motherfucker” is a song about accountability so the band’s approach of handling the record internally hits the nail on the head, as does the soaring chorus of motherfucker being repeated in a radiant manner by lead singer Mike Patton.

"Motherfucker" will be released as a seven-inch single on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 28. The record, limited to 5,000 copies, will feature a B-side remix of the track courtesy of  J.G. Thirlwell

Exclusive: Onomatopoeia Playlist Series: Vol.5 - "/həˈbiləmənt/"

It’s been about four months since I last shared a new playlist, it was June,  hot,  and New Yorker’s were out in full force doing their seasonal impression of someone who has always loved hiking and mountain biking before opting to move to a city that's totally inappropriate for either.  But hey, we all like to live out a fantasy from time to time and what better represents that then Halloween? So in celebration of all things make believe here is volume 5 in the series, “ /həˈbiləmənt/". The festive mix includes over three and a half hours of music from the past, present and future, spanning a wide range of genera’s alongside a healthy dose of remixes, mashups and exclusives that should help move some asses come the 31st.  

I will not be posting any of the track information here or in the metadata normally attached to the mp3 files. If you would like a copy of the full track list you can contact us via email and we will gladly send it your way.

Video: LUH. – “Unites”

WU LYF only lasted for one album but it was a killer one, so while I was bummed when they broke up a two years ago I was happy to see some of the band continue on as Los Porcos.  Odd man out Ellery James Roberts put his focus on solo efforts and a now new group that teams him up with Ebony Hoorn. “Unites” is our first taste of a project called LUH. (Lost Under Heaven) and includes additional beat sequencing and arrangement by Kult Country’s Yousif Al-Karaghoul, check out the video below…

Video: Death From Above 1979 – “Trainwreck 1979”

And we enter the night with a new video from Death FromAbove 1979. “Trainwreck 1979” is the lead single from their sophomore LP, The Physical World. The clip showcases the Toronto due playing a sweaty live show, check it below…

Video: alt-J - "Every Other Freckle"

More catching up this morning, this time with Brit rockers alt-J, who in three weeks will release their sophomore album, This Is All YoursThe band apparently decided that their single “Every Other Freckle” needed not one but two Olivier Groulx  directed video’s, which I believe is something they have done in the past.

The clips are nearly identical, save for the main characters, one focuses on a boy while the other highlights a girl. This Is All Yours is due out September 22 but you know you can already find it if you so desire on this thing called the internet.

Onomatopoeia Exclusive Download: /ˈjedˌīak/ - “Cells EP” (Chance The Rapper vs. alt-J vs. Goldspot)

Labor day is fast approaching which means summer is ending with a bang of BBQ’s, weddings, and last minute beach time. Labor day also marks the three-year anniversary since I started sharing these remix’s and mashup’s; so all this week leading up the holiday I’m gonna be posting a stockpile of new tunes for ya’ll to enjoy. 

Today’s pick is the Cells EP, consisting of two songs inspired by Chance The Rapper’s “Brain Cells.”  First up is “Cell Blocks” which uses alt-J’s “Breezeblocks” as the backing tune. I created this one back in July and have been sitting, waiting, for the right moment to share it. Track two was created last night by chance (no pun intended,) and uses Gold Spot’s “It’s Getting Old, “ The end result is an indie  themed mashup experience that kind of represents my mood right now. Give them a spin from below or download for later…

Listen: Death From Above 1979 - "Government Trash"

Death from Above 1979 are back in full force. Besides a new overdue sophomore LP, titled The Physical World, the band will also be embarking on a world tour which saw its first warm-up date Last night in Los Angeles. According to reports the Canadian duo handed out CD’s featuring another new track to those who attended; and because we live in a day and age where someone can fart out an idea in the Congo with the expectations it will be received in New York within seconds, fans who couldn't make it to the gig can now also stream “Government Trash” from below...

Listen: The Afghan Whigs - "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" (Police Cover)

When it comes to covering songs Greg Dulli and the Afghan Whigs are definitely one of the best in the business at doing so, usually adding some trademark melancholy to the tune in question. During the recording of their latest LP, Do to the Beast, they toyed around with the Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” but it didn’t make the final cut. “We sort of made a demo of the song and forgot about it,” says frontman Greg Dulli. Well after a quick re-recording of the vocals the band decided to share the tune today.

Listen: Alt-J - "Every Other Freckle"

Alt-J provides yet another official sneak peak at their forthcoming sophomore LP This Is All Yours, set to drop on September 22. “Every Other Freckle,” is the third single—following ”Hunger of the Pine” and Left Hand Free;” each song thus far exploring  its own unique vibe.  This time around the drums make me picture a Native American tribe as the song starts to break down around 1:33 in.

Video: Tomahawk - "South Paw"

Tomahawk are back with a new Vincent Forcier music video for Oddfellows tune “South Paw.” The clip see’s the band member’s transformed into puppets, something that I’m kind of surprised Mike Patton and crew haven’t done before as it fits the bands sense of humor to a T.

Video: Alt-J – “Left Hand Free”

I shared an audio stream of alt-J’s  “Left Hand Free” a month ago and as the band nears the release date of their sophomore LP, This Is All Yours, an accompanying video has made its way onto the internet today. The Ryan Staake directed-visuals capture a group of friends enjoying the summer, look for the LP to drop on September 22nd.

Woodkid has completed his striking short film/long music video for his 2013 album of the same name, “The Golden Age.” This is the fourth song from the album to receive a video treatment from the man himself and as he has proven time and time again he has a great flair for the both the cinematic and dramatic.

The version of “The Golden Age” used in the video is a special extended edition, a collaboration with composer Max Richter. Check out the moving video and credits below…
