In this edition of Cellophane Sunset, a mixed bag of four songs which are rotating highly for me at the moment...
Bibio
This soaring summer jam does strange and powerful things to my speakers...this is definitely my favourite track from Bibio's latest album, Ambivalence Avenue. The album itself has been described as an eclectic mix of J Dilla, the Mamas and the Papas, and everything in between, and is well worth checking out by dint of this song alone.
Mos Def
quiet dog / bite hard / my god
Mos Def released his latest album The Ecstatic rather lately and after a few listens this is the song I keep coming back to, even if I wouldn't leave my children with it...simmer down now!
Mos Def - Quiet Dog Bite Hard
Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse
every night / it's gone
The result of a collaboration between producer Danger Mouse (famed as one half of Gnarls Barkley) and solo muso Sparklehorse. Their album Dark Was The Night features cameos from other artists on each track, ranging from The Flaming Lips to Iggy Pop himself. This one in particular showcases the talents of The Strokes' Julian Casablancas.

Faux Pas
Faux Pas is a Melbourne musician who makes music using his computer, and has a rather entertaining blog here, which has only recently blossomed back to life. New tracks of his are surfacing on the web in such locations as silence is a rhythm too but I thought sharing one of my favourite songs of his would be more appropriate and thus chose Dorothy's Finger below in its full, non-demo glory, after it narrowly edged out his classic Changes, which saved me through its airtime on Triple J during a long family holiday...on a boat (talk about yacht rock!)
Enjoy.
