Man, remember when everyone was so blown away by The Postal Service? Maybe not for their music, though SOME OF US were jamming Give Up pretty hard in their high school years, but at least for their CRAAAAZY idea of sending each other tracks over the mail. So crazy-ish! Nowadays, this is the least crazy thing that’s ever happened, considering a little thing called email and the internet and et cetera et cetera. I bet Ben Gibbard feels real dumb now, using the mail like a five-hundred-year-old man. But the point is, people send each other tracks to collaborate on through all sorts of mail.
Here’s an example of that thing I was talking about: Glasgow-based producer Hudson Mohawke and Montreal-based producer Lunice have gotten together for a project called TNGHT. By the laws of logic, they’re releasing an EP and calling it TNGHT. See, you know that that’s an EP title and not me just telling you the band name again, because of italics. I love them! That very EP will be coming out through Warp on July 24. Boy, I bet that’ll be good. But don’t take my word for it, ask somebody who saw the two debut this project at this past SXSW. Don’t ask me, though, because I did not see them. Sorry!
Or, hey, if you can’t find someone who saw them, listen to their first single, “Bugg’n.” “HEY WHERE CAN I HEAR THIS, MAYBE THROUGH THE MAIL?” Who are you, Ben Gibbard? You can listen to “Bugg’n” at this very YouTube link. That is where you can hear that.
