Fake Tattoos is better than Prince

Animals Talking

I just want to echo exactly what BiBaBiDi said about Animals Talking becuase it is spot on.


"If all U.K. guitar-pop bands were as good as Animals Talking, N.M.E. would be a 500-page weekly and music blogs would have a pretty tough time keeping up with the times. Fortunately, the London quartet is a rare gem, so for now, we'll just cherish them.

While the below two demos are pretty rough and sound crummier than they ought to, the beauty of Animals Talking's lo-fi indie-pop is undeniable and clearly juts out amongst the fuzz and scuzzy recordings that most likely were recorded in one take or minimally mixed. Or something. Keep an eye on these four as they're bound to churn out some phenomenal stuff ..."

If you download one song this week from Fake Tats make it this one:

Animals Talking - It Was

Don't get me wrong. All four of these songs have more charm than most bands I have ever heard. That is how I would describe the band's sound...charmingly gloomy and goofy. It gives me a picture of some british boys just messing around with girls, sometimes losing sometimes winning, drinking 2 much, not drinking enough, laughing a lot.

Animals Talking - Reveal

The way these songs are recorded is inspiring to kids everywhere who wanna start their own band. The shitty recording kind of makes it better...sounds like a friend's band. Too bad I don't actually have any british friends.

Animals Talking - Colours

Hehe they spell color the british way. so cute.

Animals Talking - New Dawn

teehehe

In The Office: One

In The Office is a new series of posts that I (Starfox) will bring to you guys from...my office in Paoli Pennsylvania. I work as an office intern, I was recently assigned a massive filing job that has me at my desk on my computer 24/7...what does this mean for Fake Tats readers? It means that I will use 95% of my time at this job actually cruising the internet looking for new music instead of filing. I will take about 9 to 10 times longer than I should on this assignment just to make myself, and you all...neon.

Today I cruised the internet for a good while and found a handful of certified dope tracks for your pleasure:

Muscles - Sweaty (Shazam Remix)
^Shazam is the jump off. Remember his Pool Party? I was about to post another one of his remixes until I found this banger. Really cool stop/start style with echoes and synths coming in and out all over the place. Also that great jumpy bass he is known for.

data - Rapture (Pacific Remix)
^I think it is Sebastian Grainger singing? Anyways I have the original track, it rocks, but it isn't mastered properly and is too quiet. It is okay cuz this remix by Pacific is actually better. Cool sounds later on in the song that remind me of a vocoder/guitar.

Jupiter One - Countdown (Designer Drugs Remix)
^I have been playing this song for a fucking minute in my car and while listening I completly forget who it was by so I couldn't post it. Lucky for you guys I found it again today. It is one of my favorite remixes of the year, be sure to check it out else you will be missing out on one of the best tracks in awhile.

Yuksek - Composer (Surkin Remix)
^Not his best remix but it is still Surkin so expect the dopest/choppiest/poppiest electro. If you have a good sound system then you will want to play this loudly and Tecktonik poorly.

Heads We Dance - My Heart Is Set On You (Louis La Roche Remix)
^A bit of a change of pace from our man Louis. Not as house-y, little bit more chilled out electro disco-y. Still quality. Peep it.

Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Kimono Kops Remix)
^I know, I know, I need to chill out with the Hearts On Fire remixes. Well, fuck you. I love this song and people keep intrepeting it differently so I am posting yet another(maybe my 5th?) remix of it. This one is great.

Justice Shows You Their Real Electric Feel.

Conquering the earlier original fake anti-culminating remix, Justice has put out their first real remix of 2008.

It's the fucking jumpoff.
