IRON

Film still from the video for 'Iron'

Woodkid is film- & commercial director Yoann Lemoine, a Frenchie residing in the United States. His debut EP 'Iron' was released yesterday.
Keeping Yoann's daily life profession in mind, it comes as no surprise that the video for the lead single is nothing short of spectacular. The song is backed up by what seems like an entire orchestra - most notably the horns that give it a filmic character - and even the photography can only be described as majestic, it's quite reminiscent of Hedi Slimane's work.

The EP features four original tracks and two remixes for Iron, one by Mystery Jets and one by Gucci Vump (Brodinski + Guillaume Brière from The Shoes), the latter one probably being my favourite since it achieves a more clubby sound without giving up the orchestral splendour that set it apart in the first place.
'Iron' is out through Green United Music and can be bought here.

STAY THE SAME

It's been ages since I last posted about The Shoes on here, even though they've been keeping themselves quite busy. They released a new EP just over a month ago, you might have heard about it; 'Stay The Same' feat. Esser. It's got an impressive list of remixes by Adam Kesher, Siriusmo & Jan driver, Isolée, Harvard Bass, Donovans, and a really interesting one by Etienne De Crécy.
So the reason I post about it this late is because they decided to give an alternative version of the single away for free, and who would say no to that? I wouldn't. It's a bit more poppy than the original (that I really like as well) and if it's anything to go by, their album ('Crack My Bones', released 7th March 2011) will be something to look forward to in 2011. Get the track here and buy the EP (out on Southern Fried Records) here.

THE SHOES

The Shoes do not disappoint. They bring something different every time,
but the result is always 100% The Shoes (which automatically means i think it's brilliant)
