All Things Drums (ba ba Boom)

In my growing obsession for weird and loud beat driven music I recently came across I.U.D. They are a new avant-garde project out of New York, uniting former art school companions Lizzi Bougatsos of ‘Gang Gang Dance’ and Sadie Laska of ‘Growing’, in an industrial noise driven collaboration. The unique sound present on their recently released debut album ‘Proper Sex’, can be distinguished through the thematic use of progressive non-westernized drum rhythms and often hypnotic, sexually charged vocal melodies. Lizzi’s ‘Gang Gang Dance’ influence is certainly evident throughout much of the record, however far from the pop crossover beginnings that is ‘Saint Dymphna’. This album is definitely worth a listen for anyone open to experimental music, and if song titles like ‘Goat Pussy’ or ‘Glo Balls’ aren’t intriguing enough, then how about the album cover?

The Proper Sex tracklist:

01 Daddy (MP3)
02 Glo Balls
03 Monk Hummer
04 911
05 Mary Unmargaret
06 Girls Just Wanna (Time to Have Sex)



This is probably one of the coolest clips I have seen in a long time. OOIOO are a Japanese band about which I know little except that this is one kick ass track and defiantly a new top favourite of mine. The bit where the bass kicks in really floats my boat… and hopefully yours.
