Okay, I know that recently most of my posts have been on this whole euro-electro-hipster tip but I promise that after this I will post some hood tracks as well. Google Analytics straight punk’d me like “dawg, peep this pie chart: your hood tracks are slackin! you can’t just post ONE Common track and be off the hook!” and Google Analytics is always right.

However, first we must delve into the sonic minutia of this artist called Weird Tapes. Apparently it’s a side project somehow connected to the band Hail Social. I only like one Hail Social song, and to make things worse, it’s not even the original, it’s the Nick Catchdubs remix. I’m skeptical….

If it wasn’t already evident by this cool looking polar bear I yanked from their site, the music is ON-point. Think of Cut Copy, but add some 80’s flavoring and a shitload of top quality synthesizer work. Seriously-awesome-synths. Preview their tracks and soon enough they even got Weezy sayin “motherfucker, it’s iiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.” These two are my favorites.
