I fucking love everything put out by Italians Do It Better. I just got the new Chromatics album and it kills – it is so spooky and bizarre and beautiful. It reminds me of being in a car late at night driving through the rain. There is also a new Glass Candy track out which is a head-trip. The bass is so big and fuzzy and wonderful.
Both those groups have unbelievable production coming via Johnny Jewel, who is a member of Chromatics and half of Glass Candy. Seems like a pretty cool dude. His drums and synths always sound perfect.

Glass Candy: "Animal Imagination" AUDIO
Glass Candy have a new album of rarities/b-sdies coming out titled Deep Gems – it is only available at an upcoming show in Portland but I’m sure it’ll pop up on the net soon thereafter. Animal Imagination was posted to GvB and sounds great, per usual. Raw but full production that is aesthetically interesting while retaining a clear rhythm/groove.
I’m excited to see what will happen when Glass Candy produces a proper release (w/ mastering, etc.) – it’ll be a different sound completely but will hopefully retain the ruggedness I’ve grown to love from them and the rest of Italians Do It Better.
