Them&US: The Interview



To you, Them&US could be a brand new sensation in pop music that you should be on the lookout for, but to the initiated out there you probably have heard of the names Killa Kela and Ami during your own musical travels with the both clocking up an extensive amount of music experience throughout their careers respectively.

Ami Carmine is the lush, pink haired vocalist who actually provided her voice for U.K dance pioneers Basement Jaxx. Her voice is something unique which captures such greats as Kate Bush and my personal favorite comparison…Tori Amos!

Killa Kela need no introduction but for intensive purposes here is one anyway.

He is a heavyweight beatbox from West Sussex who himself has share stages with N.E.R.D, Mobb Deep, Redman and Buster Rhymes.

Funny tidbit about Killa……..he even did a route with The X Factor NZ’s own Daniel Bedingfield during a DMC contest.

Even funnier tidbit of information, he was on an episode of Nikka Costa’s web series Nikka’s Box

So what should entice you to listen to Them&US? Heavy percussion, dubstep synth lines with a melody of vocals, hooks and deserved for a title of Ear Worm goodness. Hell Im still humming their sensational track ‘Happy Ever After’ complete with video.

With an engagement supporting Kelis on the 30th of May, we got to talk to Then&US in this exclusive NZ interview.

VALLEYS


‘Hounds’ is the second single taken from Montreal based duo Valleys’ sophomore album ‘Are You Going to Stand There and Talk Weird All Night?’ ‘Hounds’ features a softer side of the band, with Tille Perks’ sweet vocals taking lead. She says: “The song is loosely based on an I Ching reading I threw after some of my friends and family members died in unrelated accidents around the same time. Though I asked about something frivolous, the response I got was: You are drowning. But don’t despair; there are more important things than life.”

Wax Fang channel Hedwig in their amazing new music video!

Wax Fang, the psychedelic/experimental duo of Scott Carney and Jacob Heustis, have been relatively quiet since releasing the critically acclaimed La La Land in 2007. Surprisingly, that space of taciturnity had shifted since the band released Mirror, Mirror in the fall, a couple a creepy videos for “Mirror, Mirror” and “Dawn of the Dead of the Night of the Hunter,” and most recently a new single “The Blonde Leading The Blonde”… that culminated with the news that Wax Fang had both inspired and collaborated with American Dad co-creator Mike Barker for the series’ 150th episode that aired earlier this month.

But wait, there’s more!

Outsides

Kansas City’s Tim Ellis, who performs under the name Outsides, toes the line between organic and electronic production, writing guitar parts that were ultimately sampled and woven together with a battery of synthesizers in his home studio. The result is an ambitious collection of huge-sounding pop gems in the vein of Foster the People, Toro y Moi, and Passion Pit that manage to dip their toes in shoe-gaze, psychedelia, and electronica without losing the exuberance of pure, hooky pop.
