Leron Thomas sent this new video to me, and I have to say I was wonderfully confused, which is always a good sign. Anything that cannot be easily be pigeonholed is usually something ploughing it’s own course to a new star, so to speak.
Here’s Sanitation Truck, which seems to deconstruct jazz and 80’s pop via a hazy chill(ed)wave filter, a song about what? I’m not sure, but I like it, wonderfully bizarre stream of consciousness like some of Frank Zappa, or the soundtrack to a surreal John Hughes movie that’s not been made yet. Familiar yet warped, maybe parts of Weeknd, Arthur Russell, James Murphy, Bill Callahan or How to Dress Well, or even a lounge Death Grips, but see what I mean? All comparisons ultimately fail…intriguing 😀
Also like this more recently recorded track Take It too – again kind of magically indescribable but to me has an Anna Meredith feel when she pulls apart pop songs, celebrating and making them transparent at the same time. I dunno, just listen:
