The Hai are quickly becoming a haven for independent electronic artists, with four of their members featured on this split extravaganza. Both bands play a variety of video game influenced synth-rock, but neither fall into the trappings of "sounding too much like a Mega Man game." New Motive Power brings two more insanely well produced tracks that are catchy as hell, with the second track featuring A Problem Like Maria (who has been "solved" before by Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack and Radio Wire Empire) and also produced by electronic artist Mattir. The Flying Batteries side is even catchier (I -CANNOT- get Passion out of my head) and a bit thicker with guitars more at the front of the mix.
The split comes in two versions available on each of the artist's bandcamp pages. Each has it's own download-only bonus remix track, and is worth checking out. I'm quite excited to see what else The Hai will be putting out in the future.
No general contact page, so I just thought I'd say hi. This is a pretty good blog, and I like that you're going through Bandcamp as I do.
ReplyDeleteAnywhoo, if you want to be an author on my blog too, you're more than welcome to be one: no obligation to post frequently, but I'm "recruiting" as it were, and it'd be cool thave you on moosick! :)
Thanks for the comment. I could post some stuff on moosick. It'd be essentially what I'm doing here, but I can always cross-post anything I put up here.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty fascinated with the emergence in recent years of "bedroom" projects and I've been trying to amalgamate all the good ones I can find in one place. I put out my own music at weaponyz.bandcamp.com (sounds something like Atari Teenage Riot) so check that out sometime if you're interested.
I'll have a listen. Got an email address? I need to have one to add you as an author. It'd be great to have you on board!
ReplyDeletewill.hodges.77@gmail.com is the one it's sending all my comments and things to, so it must be that one, ha.
ReplyDeleteand i had thought it would send that in the e-mail chain, but I guess that's a no-reply bot.
Sent: Idk where you'll get it, but expect an author invite.
