  1. HEAR THIS: Laurel Collective – “They Hate Me”

    April 5, 2012 by Steph

    Upbeat indie pop from London, Laurel Collective is groovy, noisy, and uber-cool. They signed with an offshoot of Domino Records, Double Six, in their infancy. A sensational introduction to the band with “They Hate Me,” I’m dying to see what these guys come up with on their upcoming debut via Tape Club/Believe.

    Aside from working on their own music, they also do their part to foster the indie scene. Apparently they host a now-famous secret festival in a remotely-located forest (called In the Woods), which has featured the likes of Micachu and the Shapes, The Invisible, Pete and the Pirates, and Anna Calvi on the bill. They also hosted a regular night called ‘Hindenburg Mile-High Club’ for a short time in London.

    Seems like I should have heard of these guys by now. Have you?

  2. Sasquatch: Flying Lotus

    At the start of the set, the Banana Shack was only halfway filled. By the time he finished, there was a crowd cheering outside of the tent. Flying Lotus was by far the most surprising performance of the weekend. Producer Steve Ellison smiled the entire set as he was breaking down experimental, downtempo beats heightening the crowd’s energy.  Flying Lotus laid down the law by playing tracks off his albums Los Angeles and Cosmogramma, but got everyone dancing and singing when he playing Tyler, The Creator’s smash hit “Goblin” and Prodigy’s “Return of the Mack”. What I liked most about Fly Lo’s set was that it was not predictable and every song was transitioned perfectly. Flying Lotus’ sixty minute masterpiece exceeded my expectations and turned out to be one of if not the best set at Sasquatch.
