Music Video: Pantha du Prince & Panda Bear - Stick to My Side

(Minimal Techno)

Hey all.  I just realized that Pantha du Prince and Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) released a music video to their single Stick to My Side.  It's not the greatest video. In fact I was a little disappointed, but it's not bad either. It's just... really weird. But maybe all you weirdo's out there will like it a little more.  It's a great song by Pantha du Prince, featuring Panda Bear (of Animal Collective), and the video actually does capture the essence that the song is trying to convey (I think...). Anywho. There is a bigfoot-esque character in here that seems to be like friends to this human and the human lets him stay in his house. And later he runs out and finds another monster thing and hugs it incredibly awkwardly. That sums up the video... in the snow.

Pantha du Prince - Black Noise (2010)

(Minimal Techno)

Wow. Just wow. This album is genius. Pantha du Prince is the one-man German electronic artist, Hendrick Weber. It's a great example of a steady atmospheric sound that can easily be played while chilling out in one's home, reading a book, cooking dinner, or having friends over. There's a certain mathematical precision you'll notice when listening to Black Noise, the third album by Pantha du Prince. And what's even better than mathematical precision? In track four Panda Bear (Noah Lennox of Animal Collective) makes a guest vocal appearance, making this album just that much cooler. Pantha and Panda... Cooool.

This is certainly one of the better releases I've had the pleasure of listening to in a while. It's a collage of sampling and (I believe) some live instrumentation, creating a minimalist style of techno. If you're not a fan of techno, I wouldn't lightly brush this one off as a pass. Give it a good listen to. It's definitely deserving of it. And I assure you it's much better than that mindless techno you'll hear in a club or on Jersey Shore. I give this beauty an 8.7/10.
