It’s not only MP3′s on offer here. Esoteric Youtube videos populate most of the page, ranging from clips of an early documentary on New Order to the pop perfection of Split Enz.
If you like what you hear, for home listening you should definitely look into their compilations. Why release a compilation when everything is already available? Dirty Soundysystem have been answering this question since 2003. Their selections of little-known and hard to find recordings can be listened to from start to finish and lend themselves to repeat listening. Their latest: “Dirty French Psychedelics” is a compilation for classic rock radio with names our parents would recognize. In reality, it is a hallucinated voyage through the land of French pop psychedelics to be listened to in one sitting, eyes half-open in the heat of the summer of 2009. Certain experts will tell you that Bernard Lavilliers or Brigitte Fontaine are not psychedelic, and they are probably right. Who cares? It’s for people who want to discover or rediscover the music of the seventies, for those who want to listen to music without really paying attention and for those who want to listen attentively through their headphones. Have a good trip.
The MP3′s they put up on the blog are only there for a limited time, in their words: “For discovery purposes only. Support the music, buy records, read books, learn to cook”.
Acid Washed are set to release their debut EP on November 23rd. It features this track “General Motors, Detroit, America” which initially caught our eye due to the simple but engrossing op-art style video from Anthony Burrill. The release will feature another track “Snake” with remixes from Gavin Russom (DFA) and Arnaud Rebotini (Blackstrobe).
Anthony Burrill is a designer who works in a broad range of activities, including print, advertising, moving image, exhibitions and products. He was born in Littleborough, Lancashire and now lives and works on the Isle of Oxney, Kent. After studying graphic design at Leeds Polytechnic he completed an MA in Graphic Design at the Royal College of Art, London.
Acid Washed is a fusion of late-nineties filter house and nu-disco anthems with acknowledgment to Detroit and Chicago without being reverential. Don’t dwell on definitions, it’s a cosmic tune for your party tonight.
General Motors, Detroit, America
