Bjork has just released her latest project, Voltaic, to the masses. And rather than hit us with the next wave of sonic sounds of the Nordic persuasion, Bjork + band have offered more of a retrospective of their cannon.
Prior to touring their last album Volta, released in 2007, the group recorded live to tape selections from Medulla, Homogenic, Post, Vespertine and Volta. These performances are what make up the Voltaic release.
The Jamaican, black metal band Major Lazer is a collaborative musical project from DJ/Producers Diplo and Switch.
As if the video leaves any questions, Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost an arm in a secret zombie war and has since replaced it with a highly rad and girthy automatic weapon. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard and rides a rocket-powered skateboard circa 1984.
Back on planet earth, the duo released their first album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do on June 16th, 2009. Being a pretty big deal, tons of people collaborated on this album recorded at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica.
Diplo and Switch previously worked together to produce artists Sanitgold and M.I.A. ~ being nominated for a Grammy with M.I.A's song Paper Planes from her 2007 album, Kala.
Major Lazer is currently on tour. I think they were in NYC a week or so ago. Bummer to have missed it.
