If this were just a music blog, the story would end there, but of course the advantage we have on CDM – and the chance to go beyond our own tastes and stylistic differences as musicians – is that we’re all wrestling with the same technology. That is, it’s a challenge, but the kind of challenge worth exploring. I’ll be curious to hear the rest of the album, because the band seems like such an essentially live performance-based band, and it’s always tough to translate that experience. They’re great, approachable guys, so I’ll be talking to them more. We all seem to want to break boundaries, but everybody has their own lane, which is what makes it so exciting.” “Everyone around us from the West Coast-Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Daedelus, Eprom-has their own distinctive sound.
From the press release:Īccording to Boreta, Drink The Sea certainly reflects the pioneering, individualist spirit of their home base. The band nods to the LA musical epicenter from which their work emanates. Yes, this is American music in the triumphantly-proud Obama era. Nothing like ghetto-blasting in a crap GM rental car.) It’s just a taste of the album to come, but nicely wrangles some thickly-arrayed synth stacks and big percussion.

Thanks to the trio’s openness about what they do, we’ve got the works for you here: music for free listening, a behind-the-scenes look at some of the challenges of playing laptop music together as an ensemble, and images of how the Lemur touch performance is assembled that could apply to other touch (or tactile) interfaces. (That’s to say nothing of the solo lives of the members, impressive on their own.) Triple-teaming live performance, they attack Lemur multi-touch screens, turning them into sonic battle axes. Their popularity has been almost viral, one of those rare, genuinely live acts in digital music.
The Glitch Mob are one of electronic sound’s great ensembles, experts at blending sonic influences as they are at bringing together the force of their talented personnel. Photo by Aaron Gautschi, courtesy The Glitch Mob. The Glitch Mob play live at El Rey in January.
