It's the Supersound

High 5 Collective have released another video inspired by the evocative music of The Weeknd. Last year they put House of Balloons’ “The Morning” to film, and now they’ve just released a video inspired by Echoes of Silence‘s gorgeous standout, “Montreal.” As Disco Naïveté points out, the clip zeroes in on the song’s French refrain: “laisse tomber les filles,” or “leave the girls alone,” and depicts a father abusing his teenage daughter.

Kid Cudi may have pushed back his collaborative album with Dot Da Genius, WZRD, from January 31 to February 28, but he did release a new single from the album, the Drive soundtrack-sampling “Teleport 2 Me, Jamie.” The atmospheric jam is almost entirely void of the riffage Cudi and Genius threw on other WZRD track “Brake”.

We’ve caught some of the band’s excellent cuts from the score, including “Parade,” which NPR premiered a snippet of late last year alongside restored footage from the film.

New (old) / previously unreleased track from Chaz Bundick, taken from his forthcoming June 2009 (coincidentally, the same month we first heard the man’s work) archival 7” vinyl box set, which chronicles some of the early, pre-Causers of This recordings that we were so fond of back in the day:
