Musical Obsession(s) of the Last Two Weeks

So, lately I’ve been listening to an alarming amount of indie pop. Specifically, Los Campesinos! and Of Montreal. I don’t know what to make of this. I suppose it’s an escape from the usual rock/lo-fi/alternative. Oh, and Of Montreal makes excellent car singing music, a big plus for me.

Then I finally checked out Olivia Tremor Control’s Music for the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle, which I would wholeheartedly recommend to everyone.

On the electronic front, I found this Japanese..umm…breakbeat? (Wikipedia’d this, you know my feelings about genres…) duo. They call themselves Hifana. I’m not really big into electronic music, aside from Massive Attack and LCD Soundsystem I have hardly anything, but I do like their Asian influenced beats. I haven’t heard anything really like it, and it’s not too repetitive like Daft Punk (all right they’re OK but over hyped in my eyes…). Oh and they have cool videos too. That’s a plus. Take a listen.
