Balam Acab “Ass Pop” (Stream)

June 1st, 2012

Alec Koone just posted this to the Balam Acab Soundcloud page, marking a pretty significant shift from the woozy, cavernous soundscapes of last year’s Wander/Wonder LP. “Ass Pop” lives up to that title, squeaking, hopping and um, barking at a pace we rarely hear from Koone.

Twin Sister “Kimmi in a Rice Field (Balam Acab remix)” (MP3)

Not sure it would go as well with the original’s creepy video, but this remix really deserves its own video. Click here to give it a listen.
