Redinho “Pitter Patter” (buy me)
The clips I’ve heard from the rest of this EP sound a little bit too neon 8-bit for me, but man, how pretty is this song? Reminds me of my favorite melancholy 90’s-IDM-but-really-almost-trance-if-you-think-about-it jam Forcasa 3 by Bola.
And while I’m linking there, I’d like to state for the record that I really love Remote Location’s design for the Numbers site. Definitely one of the best label sites I’ve seen, and matches the Numbers vibe/art direction perfectly.

This month’s Monograph features Matt Siber’s Floating Logos project – which comprises dozens of images of logos on various photographed signage but with all the supporting structures “removed” in Photoshop.

The new Blitzen Trapper album, Destroyer of the Void, is officially out today, and you can stream the whole thing via the player above.
Part of the reason I’ve been a bit silent on this blog lately is I’ve been crazy busy cramming to get their new site built, so I’m happy to report that it’s up and running just fine now. For you nerds out there, it’s all Ruby on Rails, with Topspin powering catalog sales (and all sales soon), and shows being sucked in via the BandsInTown API and Sub Pop’s BT RSS Feed. I’ve got lots of plans for this thing, so hopefully you’ll be seeing lots of cool new functionality over the coming months.
Also, the blog is being powered by Tumblr, so if you’re reading this in your dashboard, I’d suggest following Blitzen Trapper on Tumblr! That’s all. Looking forward to a nap.

Nissan by Universal Everything
Surprise, I really like this. I guess I’m just a big fan of CGI circles moving around in creative ways, set to music. I’m also a fan of Simon Pyke’s audio production work, so I’m not surprised to hear he’s responsible for the lovely sounds here. Here’s another Universal Everything / Simon Pyke production I posted a while ago.

Another neat-looking thing by Oscar & Ewan. Lots of cool stuff in their just-relaunched portfolio. (via @remotelocation)
This is weirdly hypnotic.
