Covered this track on a whim today. Wavves is a one-man noise/punk/bro from SD, so I went reallyreally raw on the mix and all that [Peter, Anamanaguchi]
New York blipstars Anamanaguchi answered the prayers we should have asked for by delivering a cover of Wavves‘ “So Bored.” Matching Nathan’s intensity and earning bonus points for creativity, Anamanaguchi have given us a must download that is certain to appease lo-fi and 8bit fans alike.
Don’t forget to peep and purchase the guchi bros’ latest release, Dawn Metropolis, here. If you’re new to the 8bit scene, I interviewed Anamanaguchi in March of ‘08 – check it out here and in advance I’m sorry for the awful editing and sound levels.
the new anamanaguchi album, “Dawn Metropolis”, is now finished and available to stream and/or purchase. it’s been a year in the making, and has nothing if not every possible ounce of effort we could put into it. please check it out, and see one of our shows when you can! thanks a million times! [via MySpace bulletin from drummer Luke Silas]
The day is finally here, Dawn Metropolis is out, and to celebrate the ‘guchi bros will be playing a release show March 16 at the Bell House presented by Ohmyrockness.com. I’m not only excited about square waves on vinyl, but the fact that the vinyl is an affordable $11! Also, make sure to check out the DM website to stream not just the album but the accompanying visuals as well! There’s even an option to go full screen – not advised to view if you’re epileptic or on acid. Support the artists and our FRNDS, buy the album here! Seriously you guys, I’m really impressed and excited. See you at SXSW, see you at your next show and congratulations. You’ve got the eye of Pitchfork on your side, pretty soon you’ll have the ears of the world. Luke Silas, drummer extraordinaire, should hopefully be in town March 14 to hold up the beats for [Post-foetus] for our On Your Body night with The Bird and the Bee, The Damn Sons and Haim.
So today I got a message from Pete and Ary of Anamanaguchi regarding their album, Dawn Metropolis. You probably did too considering that it was a facebook blast, but for those who didn’t here it is!
Listen to title track “Dawn Metropolis” via Youtube here, watch Anamanaguchi perform with USK at Blip ‘08 here.
I know you’re all on the Anamanaguchi tip and probably somehow already have the unreleased and unuploaded album – but if you don’t have Pete’s cover of Mariah Carey’s Christmas classic then at least I’ve turned you on to something.
If you’re in NY January 31 make sure to catch Anamanaguchi with one of my favorite musicians, Rafter, at the Cake Shop (which I conveniently live across the street from so we can hang).
