mix: Love Triangle

"Count Zero"

Austin synth-quartet SURVIVE just posted this Texas sized mix made for Vice UK by Tommy Boy. The results are near Earth shaking. Gathering bits and pieces from the Austin-Houston-Dallas Triangle, Love Triangle is a roll slow'd/lean back oriented mix that is sure to set the tone for a warped weekend. From George Quartz cover of "Coconut" to Psychic Violence's "U is Moon" to Twisted Wire's "Hell" and How to Quit Crack's "Gone Away", this is essentially the education I received on my first trip to Austin last March. I can guarantee that nearly all of this mix, if not the entire thing, will be new to you. Now put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up.

new: How I Quit Crack

"Gone Away"

While purchasing the Silent Diane 7" from Answering Machine Records a few minutes ago, JJJV recommended I also pick up the How I Quit Crack single. Intrigued, I scoped the sound and was instantly flooded by synthetic goo crooning from a robotic pipe-organ somewhere under Gotham City. Wiccan drum machines build over frothing synths that make grandfather clocks stop beating. Her reworkings of Beatles and Nirvana tracks on MySpace are at one part haunting and disillusioned, while channeling inner-demons intrinsique to life in the 21st century. "Gone Away" is a spacier-poppier exploration, propelled by digital snares and Ernestina Forbis's alluring siren sound. Check out her YouTube list, 273 psych'd out videos strong.
