THIS DJ IS HAPPENIN’! Kane West storms back from out the house gutter with a follow-up to last year’s PC Music release Western Beats. Titled Expenses Paid, the four-track EP will be released on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings label, which actually makes perfect sense, since Kane West (a.k.a. Gus Lobban of indie-pop act Kero Kero Bonito) made his first solo appearance after winning a Tiga remix contest with this MIDI banger. It’s no wonder he was named “best DJ” by National Geographic, Popular Mechanics, Guitar World, and Family Circle!
We asked some of our favorite writers for their opinions too on Kane West’s music. I didn’t have time to actually read them, but I assume they all say nice things:
“I’m really offended by whatever this is!” - Kurt Woxland, OFFLINE
“Wait, Kane West or Kanye West?” - Brittany Schulenberg, Splice Magazine
“Glamour-heavy vocals float on a synth and krautrock-ready breeze, sounding not unlike Broadcast shot into the stratosphere.” – MTV Iggy
“Fuck you!I think your’e dumb!!1!” - Bentley Taylor, People
Expenses Paid is out August 14 on Turbo Recordings. Tracklist below.
Update: Here is the first track from the EP, which you’ll maybe recognize.
