TNGHT – “Acrylics”

Stream: TNGHT – “Acrylics”

The infamous banger-producer electronic music duo known as TNGHT has dropped a new track titled “Acrylics,” which you can stream via the link above. It’s got a pretty nice build that features a pleasant music box melody backed with bright synths. The drop, however, isn’t one of their best. While it is loud and heavy, the wailing synth line seems a bit obvious in a world of post-”Harlem Shake” hype. Still, it makes the final ascent of the track no less epic. I’m diggin’ it, and I hope you do as well!

Top-50 Singles of 2012

Here is a YouTube playlist of all the songs that made this list.

BADBADNOTGOOD- “Bugg’n” (TNGHT Cover)

Toronto jazz fusion trio BADBADNOTGOOD caught on tape covering TNGHT at Mad Decent’s Block Party. A perfect storm of awesome, if you ask me. I wonder if a cover of this will make it onto BBNG’s next album. Hmmmm…

TNGHT- “Bugg’n”

TNGHT drops a new video for the track “Bugg’n,” which features a myriad of visuals. There’s nightmarish depictions of a child’s room and toys; loads of live footage of the duo performing; there are some dark city streets as well. Heck, you can even see a dude in a Needle Drop t-shirt at 2:25.

The video is good, and I get kudos to Dominic Flannigan and Peter Marsden on directing and editing. Check out a review I did of TNGHT’s new EP right here.
