I’ve avoided the Gotye covers for the most part because I’m such a fan of the original. This one isn’t too shabby, but I have to admit I was expecting more. Thoughts?

Festivalist ’12: Hangout Fest Preview – Dispatch Interview

jayelaudio — Thu, 17 May 2012 00:06:39 +0000

So, yeah. Somehow, I was allowed to interview Chad from Dispatch and he was real cool to talk to and I appreciate the time he took. These guys are going to kill it on Saturday at the Hangout Main Stage at 5:15. Here is a excerpt of our discussion:

Circles Around The Sun is the new album and comes out later this Summer? What can fans expect on the album?
It’s not far off from the EP in sense and sound. Both the EP and album were produced by Peter Katis, who worked with Interpol and the National, in Bridgeport, CT. It has a few hallmarks in its sound, but it has one song thats hip-hop, some Americana and folk, but not much reggae or ska like we had done in the past. The timing just wasn’t there for those types of songs. The album has more banjo…it was fun to be in the studio. Like you said, the its been so long before the EP and this album so we’re kind of catching up on our studio time.

Head to Atlanta Music Guide for the full interview with Chad from Dispatch

This will be it for the interviews prior to the festival. I’m hoping to do a couple on site interviews and a recap after the festival. I’m pretty sure when I applied to write for AMG, I never thought I would have these opportunities, but know that I greatly appreciate all of them. Be sure to follow AMG on Twitter for all the action.

Childish Gambino – We Ain’t Them

“D.G. Glover ain’t nuttin’ to fuck wit.” Of all the recent Childish Gambino leaks from his upcoming mixtape, “We Ain’t Them” is my current favorite. DL below via CoS. Can’t wait for the June 10th show at Tabernacle.

STREAM: Yeasayer – Henrietta

jayelaudio — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:43:29 +0000

If there is anything that can get me to pause Hangout related posts (look out for a Dispatch interview soon!), its definitely a new Yeasayer joint. “Henrietta” is an eerie synth track that shows these Brooklyn lads are ready to experiment even more on their next album. Thanks CoS.

Festivalist ’12: Hangout Fest Preview – Archnemesis Interview

jayelaudio — Tue, 15 May 2012 11:28:21 +0000

I would be lying if I said I knew Archnemesis‘ music before I saw the Hangout Music Festival line-up. However, I became a quick fan after listening to their first full album, People’s Radio. The duo’s debut is filled with electronic tracks that balance hip-hop, jazz and soul influences (and samples) along the way. Oh and its available for free download here.

I was lucky enough to interview Curt from Archnemesis as part of a preview for this week’s Hangout Music Fest. Here is an exerpt:

Electronic music is bigger than it has been the past two years at Hangout. There has always been an EDM element, but I feel like electronic music has exploded at festivals across the country. What do you think that can be attributed to?
Skrillex? (laughs) Winning 3 Grammy’s is huge for the EDM scene. Bassnectar is another who has done a really good job of creating community and building a scene over time. I feel like even more mainstream stuff too has hints of electronic music in it. Even in Britney Spears songs you hear some of the same sounds that we’re using and Derek is using or Skrillex is using. Rusko helped produced that song with Britney Spears. In a lot of popular music, the people overseeing that are smart enough to see whats going on. Even creating pop songs with electronic elements in it. If anything, I would say its the last form of music that hadn’t really become mainstream and exploded the way that rock, country, pop and metal and all these genres that have had their phases in time. Over the course of musical history, I feel like the electronic scene hasn’t really achieved the level of notoriety of all these other genres have. I just think its time.

Read the entire Archnemesis interview on Atlanta Music Guide and look out for more coverage of the festival next weekend. Be sure to see their set at 11:30 on Sat. on the XBox Stage.

The Tank Renaissance…

jayelaudio — Mon, 14 May 2012 11:20:56 +0000

I have to say, I’m loving the recent infatuation with No Limit Records by various up and coming rappers. The last thing I ever want to see is a Master P or Silkk the Shocker come-back album, but the current state of nostalgia is highly appreciated. Happy Monday.
