Lilacs & Champagne

Lilacs & Champagne, the newest project from Grails producing team Alex Hall and Emil Amos, is as crazy a mix of different styles and sounds as you can expect to hear from anyone.  The label says it best:

"Rather than sampling the funk and soul canon of traditional hip hop, they pulled from disparate sources such as Polish private press hippie records, indistinguishable radio noise or the chopped and reversed sounds of Jayne Mansfield’s head being decapitated. Layers of instruments and found sound were then painted over the original samples until entirely new directions were created and taken to their logical conclusion… creating something simultaneously alien and familiar… something like the sound of Nurse with Wound collaborating with J-Dilla."

It practically made me poop myself in excitement.  Pre-order from Mexican Summer and listen to "Everywhere, Everyone" below.
