Preview New Major Lazer Album (Video)

Diplo and Switch have been had at work on the follow-up to their surprisingly popular Major Lazer album, Guns Don’t Kill People, Lazer’s Do! So they’ve once again de-camped to Jamaica, where they’re finishing up the record. This quick preview video captures the two hanging out a bit before heading ont the studio where we catch Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors about to record some vocals.

Live Review: Dirty Projectors with Alarm Will Sound + Photos

Typically, beer bottles scattered on-stage at the Walt Disney Concert Hall doesn’t happen; but Saturday night they were just another instrument in Dave Longstreth’s rock-opera, The Getty Address.

Launching into “I Sit on the Ridge at Dusk,” Longstreth’s facial expression exuded the overwhelming pain that chronicles the journey of Don Henley (yes, of The Eagles) as he tries to discover “the shape of Love.” By way of background, Henley as a the protagonist here is an amalgamation of the singer, Spanish explorer Hernan Cortes, literary character Stephen Dedalus, and Longstreth’s brother; however, it’s still very inspired by the ideas on 1976’s Hotel California. …MORE
