The first noises from Feed The Animals (on sale soon for ? dollars) sound more like the nocturnal middle rumbles of Svarte Greiner or Xela or some other dark minimalist electro experimenter than Girl Talk. Even die hards, and fans of the early work, would be hard-pressed to identify Gregg Gillis as the author behind the bleeps, distorto crunch, buzzes, striations, crackles and slo-mo mud-voiced enunciations if someone didn’t start chanting “Girl Talk” hype-man style (followed by mini-digital glitch exclamation points) toward the end. The image accompanying “I” at Girl Talk’s Myspace is a good visual accompaniment: Satanic flames disrupting And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out‘s rural-suburban ambiance. But here, see, everything has turn itself inside out. Take a listen. It’s unclear if this is where things are heading for Feed The Animals, or if this is a fake-out teaser/album intro, but regardless: For those who dig noisiness and/or breaks from rapidfire party-favor rap sampling, this should be a pretty great surprise, in all senses.

UPDATE: Just spoke to DJ Gregg. He says, “It’s not on the album but i wanted to give people something special this week.” Noted, and thank you.

  1. Play it backwards and speed it up. It’s not actually a song.

    I have heard the new album, and it is good. And, in parts, sorta annoying. But mostly good. (Examples of samples: Miley Cyrus, Postal Service, Feist, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, Daft Punk, Vanessa Carlton, Kelly Clarkson, Blink 182, Beatles, etc. etc.)

    It is absolutely more “breaks from rapidfire party-favor rap sampling.” I can’t see dude’s MySpace right now (404 error?) but the new album is definitely basically what you’d expect of Girl Talk.

      I think that you’re talking about the leak maybe, which totally wasn’t girl talk, it was some kid from Weschester PA. I don’t think that GT would sample the Beatles because that’s asking for a cease-and-desist from EMI in a heartbeat. Then again, I might be totally wrong because I didn’t listen to the leak for more then ten seconds because it opened with that godawful paramore song, so in the end I’m the idiot either way, Whatever.
