Ima Robot and Tame Impala

Today I have a song for you by the band known as Ima Robot. Many of you will recognize this song because it is used in the show Suits. Disclaimer, Suits is a wonderfully fantastic show and I highly recommend you go watch it. Anyway, this song has a really cool and suave feel to it. It has that artsy urban grunge to it which I really like. It is a different way of performing rock music and takes you back to the 90's style of music. This song has a really cool charm to it because a lot of the song falls on the support of the bass guitar over the drums. The bass guitar serves as a secondary percussion to the rest of the instrumentals. It is actually kind of awesome how simple the instruments are in this song because when you bring the together you hear a really sick song. The main instruments are of course the bass guitar, tambourine, drums, and keyboard. Nothing else makes an appearance and I like it that way. The music in this song is so structured but so laid back at the same time. Part of it reminds me a bit of the Arctic Monkeys. But the music in this song regardless is perfect and I think it really suits the show (pun intended). The lyrics to this song are also really cool because you can't really understand what he is saying. The singer in this song has that slightly higher voice compared to other grunge bands, but auto tunes it so that it becomes fuzzed. I really like that fuzzed over sound, especially for this song. It adds a rougher and suave edge to it. Alex Ebert has these shrieks that are so perfectly placed in this song and it makes the song even edgier and a little bit grungier. This is one of those songs you can dance to, but not your typical kind of dance song. It is one of those that you feel the music and then get down to. This is one of those songs that you listen to and are automatically hooked. You can get really into this song which is so awesome. Alex Ebert actually started this proect before he started Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. I am going to be completely honest, I like Ima Robot one hundred times more than his new project. This song is a testament to the awesomeness that is Ima Robot and is a great re-emergence of a grungier electronic sound mixed with indie pop. Ima Robot is a music project that I plan on looking into more. Today's instrumental song is a version of a song by Tame Impala. This song is just so badass and I absolutely love the bass guitar work in this song. I think these two songs compliment each other very well because the styles of music are very similar. Both of these bands are absolutely amazing and sick. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
