The Soft Pink Tube - Party PillsSo the server at the old website locked up and died, and I had to move everything over here. New address, new design (still working on that), new strategies, new branding, new staff of interns. My dear eleven readers, please update your bookmarks.The Soft Pink Tube is the second-degree alias of Matmos’ Drew Daniel. First there was the Soft Pink Truth. Now there is the Soft Pink Tube. Drew is working on an album composed entirely of snippets and samples taken from YouTube clips (which is weirdly in line with Matmos’ usual composition techniques). For “Party Pills,” Drew searched the word “party” on YouTube and built a song out of what he found. There’s sort of a main character in this song who talks about sex, drugs, Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, and people fucking up. The music here is poised and tense, reminiscent of some of the stuff on the last Soft Pink Truth album, “Do You Party?” (esp. something like ‘Soft Pink Missy’). It’ll be interesting to hear what happens with this approach.
