Due to it having made quite the ruckus across the world wide web, I feel compelled to hop on the bandwagon and share with you all the new track by French electro-thrasher / Ed Banger label boy SebastiAn. The song, known as "Threnody," has incited anger, joy, and a whole lot of confusion from listeners everywhere as it clocks in at a solid 13 minutes. The part that confuses most, however, is the fact that 11 of those minutes are comprised of harsh, semi-melodic noise, all too disjunct and kinda completely fuckin' crazy. The 11 minutes give way to a solid 2 minutes of headbanging, floor-stomping, dirty-as-hell electro, the Parisian's usual antics. I don't think anyone knows what SebastiAn had in mind as to the reception he thought he would receive, but if his aim was shock and awe the general public, I would certainly say it was a job well done. And really, those last 2 minutes are exemplary of why I'm so excited for SebastiAn's album to drop this year on Ed Banger. Threnody as a whole might not be the most sensible testament to that, but no one can really deny... the man knows electro like the back of his hand. Check it out if you're in the mood for something crazy. OR, if you're in the mood for something that makes a little more sense, check out the Capt and Cooked Edit. A little slice of French electro that we're more used to.
