Blue Sky Black Death - Honestly

Blue Sky Black Death first caught my ear when I heard “They Came Around” off their first album, A Heap of Broken Images, on the Telepopmusik station via Pandora. Well, apparently this instrumental, electronic-based hip hop duo have expanded their repertoire, releasing an album called Slow Burning Lights in November 2008 which dives into a dark, indie, dream pop world by utilizing vocalist Yes Alexander of The Casual Lust, a band who I discovered on thesixtyone. Funny how the two worlds collide. Anyway, you can also catch an unreleased BSBD track called “Heart Attack” on Yes Alexander’s myspace.
By the way, BSBD’s previous instrumental album, Late Night Cinema, is a must listen. If you don’t mind interrupting song introductions and fade-in fade-out album reminders, check it out on imeem.
