Pore-Popping Polish Pride

The Polish Ambassador - Devo (2006)

Just when the indie summer's spastically bleeping remixes seemed to be taking their first premature wane towards a more relaxed chill, The Polish Ambassador has landed to remind the locals that synths transcend temperature trends by remaining simultaneously hot and cool. David's alter ego lays bustling tracks that plug into the energy built by recent dynamic electronic releases from Hot Chip and Girl Talk. Hot Chip has already equipped the threat anthem switchblades for this summer's pale-hipster-gang dance brawls (West Side Story meets Krumping) and Girl Talk is evolving the party mix to replace fading Gnarls Barkley and Lady Sov manias... leaving The Polish Ambassador to refine an ethereal soundtrack as a less-expensive alternative to fuel our summer missions into video games, space, or the United Nations. Individually the efforts excel, but collectively they comprise a playlist so hot it makes my pores pop.

A few fun new tracks (including Mos Def, Kovas, Lady Sov, Ghislain Poirier, and Vast Aire ft MF Doom) are being offered for FREE download through an innovative media compilation called "Chocolate Swim" courtesy of Chocolate Industries and Adult Swim. These sort of pervasive corporate sponsorships and brandings are something to keep your eyes on within the evolving outlets for digital music.
