Squarepusher presents Shobaleader One - Megazine (taken from d'Demonstrator) from Warp Records on Vimeo.
Why Squarepusher decided to make a Daft Punk record escapes me. Since I love both Squarepusher and Daft Punk, however, this musical husbandry, a pairing of catchy with catalitic, is a welcomed development. Megazine, the first single from Tom Jenkinson and his band Shobaleader One's release d'Demonstrator (2010, Warp), is aglow with electropunk chic and futurist flash. Helmed with Lite-Brite NASDAQ readout visors and wizardwear from Stonehenge's space station semblable, the band (possibly made up of Jenkinson clones) might as well be doing a photo shoot for Vogue de L'Avenir. The groove is tight, even though the lyrics (in an alien dialect?) are incomprehensible to my ears. Before things get too clubby, the Ultravisitor shows us his pimp hand, indicating that Stu Hamm instructional vids are au courant in the Delta-V galaxy.
