PERSON has released a LIMITED EDITION COLORED VINYL 12" single, with remixes by SPANK ROCK and OUTPUTMESSAGE!
Person is the D.I.Y. pop brainchild of guitarist Miguel Lacsamana of Stamen & Pistils (Echelon Productions) and Metropolitan (Crank Automotive). The band aims for a similar territory of danceable indie rock -- such as the Notwist, LCD Soundsystem, and the Postal Service -- but with a more soulful approach, reaching the likes of the Neptunes, Timbaland, and beyond to create a glitchy, electro/hip-hop backdrop.
The Person full-length, “Entitled,” is a comment on the fallibility of humanity, its duality illustrated through a set of songs playing off of one another in an ostensibly contradictory fashion. Both denouncing and succumbing to the insatiable desires of the sensory overload within a hyperreal environment. Person struggles, but finally concedes, and tells of reluctantly surrendering to the ideals of today’s consumer-driven culture in the beautifully honest “Business Class.”
Enter Spank Rock. Typically wielding a case full of block rocking party beats, Spank Rock opts for a slightly more austere take on their method. Alex XXXChange chooses to add a subtle punctuation, which subconsciously gets asses moving. His production perfectly complements the understated beauty of this track, and brings it from the bedroom to the dancefloor. Taking us home is a roaring remix of “Pharisee Pride” by Outputmessage. On previous releases through Melodic, Ghostly International, and Echelon Productions, this young prodigy gained critical acclaim for the refined pop sensibility of his production. This time around, Outputmessage warns innocent bystanders that if they don’t want to dance, they really need to get out of the way.
FOR ALL VINYL DJ'S, THE LIMITED EDITION RED VINYL IS AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH GROOVE DISTRIBUTION. COP THAT SHIT BEFORE IT'S GONE!
