MP3: Piano Overlord
Today you get a quick post, only up this week, of a track from Scott Herren's Piano Overlord project. Instead of just regurgitating what is already online, I'd click here to read all about it. Less complex than his Prefuse 73 stuff, it still adheres to Herren's taut beat programming and angular melodicism even though the tracks are constructed with only piano and drums. And while I have always been a big fan, I have to disagree with him on his recently worded generalities regarding posting music online. In fairness, I have pasted his comments below:
My emphasis is this; if this project interest you then buy the record. Do not steal the music from some bitch website because you're only contributing to the problem - i would also emphasize in not downloading anything unless you plan to pay for it because you are only stealing from the artists that you so call - "respect".
Readers know that Scissorkick has never been exclusively about downloading music, but utilizes the downloads to get people to further explore the artists (and buy) the records posted. So here is your track. Trust me when I tell you to pick up the Money Studies 7" and be on the lookout for an EP and full length. And while Herren may bitch at all of us, he may want to actually make his records more available to the public. After an exhaustive online search, it seems it is sold out at Turntable Lab, Boomkat and other retailers. The only spot that seems to have some is over at Warp Records where Americans can pay a shit exchange rate and shipping charges. Nice.
