TRYOUTS – GIRL TALK’ FEED THE ANIMALS
The new Girl Talk album Feed the Animals has officially crash landed onto the Internet and the same level of mashup-badassery we’ve come to expect from the Pittsburgh native. On a first run-through I heard samples from Kanye, Nirvana, M.I.A., Salt ‘N Pepa, Twisted Sister, Sinead O’Connor, Kelly Clarkson, Daft Punk, the Cure, T.I. Soulja Boy, that annoying theme-song from Dawson’s Creek, and innumerable hooks and riffs that I had definitely heard before but just couldn’t place. Seems like that’s just the way Girl Talk operates, finding the nuanced, inspired moments in pop music and combining them into an entirely new and increasingly original musical template. The difference between this release and Night Ripper is the quality of the layering of the samples, no longer a simple mish-mash of cool songs but a definitive new creation, segueing seamlessly not only between songs but through movements in each track. On a precursory examination, Feed the Animals definitely makes the team. Keep a lookout for it, because word is it’ll be available on a pay-what-you-want platform soon.
