Deadbots - Much Better

A nice little post for you here today. We recently got these tracks from Deadbots, a two-person group from Dublin and Vancouver, in support of their EP titled "Much Better" which will be coming out later this month or early March. Here's the original from Deadbots for you to enjoy...


Deadbots - Much Better
Heart This Song On Hypem



As I'm sure you know we talk about nostalgia a lot here on the blog. This song definitely takes me back, but only to about three years ago. I don't mean that in a bad way at all, and I really like the song, it's just kind of funny and nice. Funny timing I guess...I could use hearing some music like this right about now. We've got Coachella coming up here in Southern California and this song is getting me really excited for it. I'm just thinking about the drive out through the desert and then arriving in Palm Springs and getting ready for a weekend of making some bad decisions.



Maybe it's the Justice-y pads that chime throughout this track, or the crisp MSTRKRFT drums, but this song is taking me back to a couple years ago when Justice played Coachella along with a ton of other great acts at the time. It was the height of the blog house era. A time when I was a bit younger and a bit dumber and a bit more ready to party, and this song makes me want to party. In the sun. By a swimming pool. I want to be in a place that parties all day in a desert oasis, and I want to have to face the decision of what will help my hangover more: jumping in the pool or this breakfast burrito and a mimosa. I want to be cool with the thought of shotgunning a beer and having it pour all over me before I jump in that pool. Ah, the perils of the good life.



I love the opening bass tone of this song, and the arpeggio is really stellar. The vocals are great. I think that's what is bringing me back and making me want to party. She's delivering the vocals like she's already down to party, and it makes me want to join. That's probably part of the recipe for a good track. Here is a remix that accompanies the track from Symbol One.

This is a nice compliment to the original. I think Josh and I might debate a bit on which track we like better. I think I like the conciseness of the original better, but this remix does add some of that French dreamwave flavor to it with some more standard dance music drums. This track could get a dancefloor going late in the night. Good stuff.

Be sure to check out Deadbots' myspace page since they've got a lot of other tracks and remixes up there. I like a lot of the ideas they have so I'm looking forward to checking out this EP when it graces us with its presence. Maybe it'll be perfect for Coachella this year as I lay on a raft floating in the pool in that place where time never moves.
