The so-called “sixth Radiohead,” producer, engineer and full time fucking GENIUS, Nigel Godrich, has unveiled a brand new experimental project called Ultraísta, alongside the vocalist, Laura Bettinson and sticksman, Joey Waronker.
The trio's self-titled debut album is currently streaming for FREE (yes, FREE!) over at SoundCloud, so go dig on it already! Look, THOM'S DIGGING:
So let's break Ultraísta down for you...
Metaphysical, stylish vocals, courtesy of Bettison? Check.
Precise, kraut-inflected beats, courtesy of Waronker?! Check.
Elaborate, disconcerting song arrangements, courtesy of Godrich?! Check.
The greatest fucking electro-afrobeat goulash of the year?! Check, check, CHECK!
Hey, this is no Kid A. So don't go peeing those Radiohead-branded pants just yet! But Ultraísta IS a luscious, entrancing and plain inspiring piece of work, perfectomondo for post-midnight (whatever it is you dirty hipsters get up to at that time of night).
If you want a jump-start, our five favorite songs from Ultraísta are:
“Bad Insect”
“Gold Dayzz”
“Smalltalk”
“Easier”
“You're Out”
Actually, fuck it – we recommend the whole thing, bro!
So click on over to SoundCloud to hear Ultraísta in its tasty entirety (we would embed the album, but it is link only...bastards).
