107. CASIOKIDS MIXTAPE

Thursday, May 27, 2010

anyone who spends any time in my apartment knows that i'm head over heels for casiokids. their musical aesthetic is all about fun - if you like the beach boys, metronomy, and hot chip - i promise that you'll love their music. it's indie music with up-tempo bass lines and a bunch of people harmonizing things like "yeah, yeah" and "la, la." unfortunately, most of their lyrics are in norwegian so i have no idea what they are singing about, but it's like riding your bike in the summer.

their new album "topp stemning på lokal bar" is a two-disc extravaganza. disc one is all original tracks and disc two is all remixes. pre-order it on polyvinylrecords right here - coming out June 8th in the US. my personal favorite is "togens hule." update: which you can download at the bottom of this post!

today, i found a featured mixtape by ck's own ketil kinden endresen.

head over to this is tomorrow (thanks guys!) to grab the tape and learn more. tracklist is below:

“The Blessing Song” – Build An Ark
“Loe Bar” – Bjørn Torske
“Sexual Healing” – Hot Chip
“Goldmine” – Sa-Ra
“Can’t Help It” – Michael Jackson (Tangoterje edit)
“I Like You!” – Arthur Russell
“1er Gaou” – Magic System
“Wing Body Wing” – Four Tet
“Love, Love” – Julian Priester & Pepo Mtoto
“Moonshake” – Can
“Inner City Blues” – Marvin Gaye
“The Highways of My Life” – The Isley Brothers

Also check out their video for "en vill hest" directed by kristoffer borgli. it's a pretty crazy video, with solid cinematography and some cool actions synchronized with the music:
