When I first started thinking about what I could say about Nosaj Thing, I thought I’d just crack some lame jokes about spelling. I thought I’d say something like, “If Nosaj Thing can fuck around with spelling, then I can fuck around with spelling,” and I’d proceed to come up alternate spellings for every word in the article.
Then, I watched the video for “Eclipse/Blue,” a track that features vocals by Kazu Makino of Blonde Redhead. And now, I’m wondering if there’s a flashlight or maybe something like a lightsaber that can draw arcs and squares and new stars across the sky at night.
Nosaj Thing released Drift back in 2009 (TMT Review), and since then he’s produced tracks for the likes of Kid Cudi and Kendrick Lamar, and he’s remixed Radiohead, The xx, and Philip Glass, among others. On January 22, Nosaj Thing will release Home on Timetable Records, his own imprint on Innovative Leisure. The album not only features the collaboration with Kazu Makino, but also one with Toro Y Moi.
Should I just cover my room in glow-in-the-dark stars?
