emil and friends

So we have been graced by the man himself, Emile Hirsch, again. But this time his email was not signed "Consider yourself honored to have received a personal email from a star of my caliber"

Instead it was to offer a new Emil & Friends remix/cover inspired by Phoenix's Girlfriend and the late great Michael Jackson. I am so intrigued by Emil & Friends and their bizarre re-works. I like their Cornelius and Bugz in the Attic style syncopations and soulful quirks. Also the pleasant imagery of girlfriend on girlfriend.

Emil & Friends - Girlfriend on Girlfriend (Phoenix Michael Jackson)

Emil & Friends - Downed Economy (DAN OH Remix)


I am currently listening to a dubstep remix of Basement Jaxx - Rainbows. RANK.

(talking about Emile Hirsch) youve seen him in into the wild. you probably wish you didnt see him in speed racer. now guess what?? you can see him in **electro-band** Emil & Friends.

although the word on the street is that emile hirsch had a rich musical education from The Hamilton Academy of Music, my hirsch/music skepticism level was blowing f&*king gauges (thanks to mr crowe and ms johansson).

Emil & Friends - Downed Economy

i must admit though that these songs are actually very good. his voice actually sounds similar to thomas from phoenix.. which is good news.
having listened to these songs a few times now, ive come to the conclusion that the cool as fuck/laid back electronique vibe is like music to my ears. (good music)

Emil & Friends - Fire Flower

the music aside, i do wonder if it is ACTUALLY emile hirsch in this band.. they did sign the email off with

"PS. Consider yourself honored to have received a personal email from a star of my caliber."

which probably means he/they/she was taking the piss, but might mean that he/they/she are a wanker.. hmmm
