“Lying Around” is that perfect summer jam we’ve all been waiting for, but there’s better news, this is the lead single from the Magic Bullets‘ self-titled album, out on June 15th through Mon Amie Records. So cut back and get into these warm tones and shimmering rhythms, it’s good for you.

Portland based Typhoon rolls 10 members deep, creating tracks rich in texture and instrumentation, a grab bag of sounds of sorts, while leaving plenty of room for the breathy vocals of Kyle Morton to shine. “Starting Over (Bad Habits)” is a song about breaking old ways to start anew, building musically with its message, sliding into a crescendo of harmony as Kyle crows his resolution to “kick you like a bad habit.” Their latest album Hunger and Thirst is out today on Tender Loving Empire.

I just downloaded I Want You, his mixtape that dropped today, and realized how brilliant his moves are from a business perspective. I’m not talking about his music (whether you like it or not), I’m talking about his success as an artist.


I’ve felt for a while that it’s not worth it for breaking artists to sell their music to consumers. Vinyl is cool but the production is costly and most artists break even. And they have to sell A LOT of units in order to make a living in the digital marketplace (keep in mind those numbers are for solo artists). The money worth chasing is in live performances, corporate endorsements, and licensing.

Theophilus works this to his advantage. Click over to his MySpace and you’ll see that he’s performing all over the world. Last October He teamed up with Mark Ronson and Sam Sparro to create Chauffeur, releasing a track to promote Ronson’s Gucci boat-sneaker. Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound put out “Humdrum Town” with a music video in January. I Want You is his 3rd mixtape, hyped to the max and stuffed with uncleared samples. That’s another cool thing, when you take money off of the table artists can express themselves without limits. Yes, this is still illegal, but would Whitney Houston really sue him over a track that didn’t have a proper release?

What can aspiring artists learn from him? Make music that’s different (and awesome, of course), give it away for free, wait for the right opportunities, and don’t stop making music.

I like Bok Bok because he’s breaking the rules of club music; trading in rudimentary “four-on-the-floor” rhythms for jumping tribal slams, giving Diamond K & Al Ripken Jr‘s hype-man style raps the ultimate vehicle. If you’re into this cut you can purchase the entire release, out on Top Billin, with remixes from Lunice, Cobra Krames, and Trusta.
