Generally when I blog I try to share new music that I've discovered. Sadly this means that I often leave some of my favorite artists unshared because I expect people to already know about them. Same thing almost happened this week when literally every single music site I use was streaming the new Atoms for Peace single. I figured they've been in the works for so long and this is such a major release that you obviously don't need me to tell you about it. Then I realized that's just silly and it's been shared everywhere for a reason. So here you are, now on my blog, too. New single from the long-awaited and finally officially formed Atoms for Peace, called Default.
If you haven't heard of Atoms for Peace, it's a supergroup formed by Thom Yorke of Radiohead. After he released his solo album, The Eraser, he started touring with Atoms for Peace and playing the album live. The group is made of Thom, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's producer, and a couple other people. And they're supposed to release an album next year, which is rather exciting.
I also heard another side project of this side project this week, which is spearheaded by Nigel Godrich. I guess it can't really be called a side-project, but it's another group that Nigel Godrich is a part of, called Ultraista. More great sounds, with an album due at the start of October. I knew I'd like them as soon as I read on their facebook that they were "conceived from a love of Afrobeat, electronica, art and inspired by tequila." These are all good things.
I don't know if anything official has been released yet, but there are a few tracks on SoundCloud. My favorite song of the week, though, goes to the Four Tet remix of Smalltalk. Luckily the remix is included on the album.
