This dark and heavy burner was shamelessly sniped from one Sheena Beaston — maybe you’ve heard of her. But there’s no shame in my game when citing the source. Anyway, she’s doing this sweet Polaroid giveaway and happened to post this tune along with it. It had me at “Modeselektor“, then it had me again at “Thom Yorke” then it had me again at “Trentemøller“. And then I listened to it and it had me at the dark, brooding intro. Since I don’t really know any of the different kinds of electronic music, I’d imagine this is what industrial sounds like. Kind of like something they might play at the old Wednesday nights at Luna. I never went but I think they played stuff kinda like this. But probably some stuff I would have liked a little less. And now their Wednesday nights are electropop, which seems like a weird change, but also a potentially interesting one provided they don’t follow the “only play songs that have music videos” rule on Wednesday nights. But anyway, all I know is that there are definitely a few robot solos in this track, and that rules.

But I must warn you, this is not for the faint of heart. I don’t think this will appeal to everyone, but I do think it will REALLY appeal to some. And that’s good enough for me.
