Totally Hot But Pretty Awesome

Sinkane - Totally Hot But Pretty AwesomeSinkane is multi talented instrumentalist Ahmed Gallab. I have already done a couple of posts about this guy. He has been the drummer for SIART faves Caribou, as well as for of Montreal & Born Ruffians. His solo stuff is psychedelic noise rock that ranges from blistering to sublime, a journey full of drones, repetition, and bombastic percussion. I really like it a lot. His latest self titled album came out last month, and the tunes I have posted have been real sonic ragers. Today's tune is one of the quieter moments of blissful space out - OK, so it gets loud towards the end, but the majority of the song is mellow. It might put you in the mind of Pink Floyd. It is delicious.

Empire of the Sun - Exclusive Live Performance @ Pedestrian.tv
I am a big fan of Empire of the Sun. The music is great and the imagery is out of control, over the top bad '80s sci-fi. Whats not to love? Yesterday during the eclipse in Asia they premiered a new perfromance clip. It is very entertaining.

Drone of The Day - Sinkane

Sinkane - Apache BeatThis delightful tune landed in my inbox today. Sinkane is drummer Ahmed Gallab. He has played with Caribou, of Montreal and Born Ruffians. In his solo guise he creates psychedelic music "filled with African blues guitar, kraut rock rhythms, free jazz horns, and a Spacemen 3-esque ambience, a journey full of drones, repetition, and bombastic percussion." I had no idea. I must say that Apache Beat is a glorious bit of Krautrock grooviness with a blistering feedback fest at the end. His new album Sinkane is out July 11th on Emergency Umbrella Records. I look forward to hearing the rest of it!
