North America South America



Who in God's name are N.A.S.A.??? I've only heard of 'em today, yet on their debut album The Spirit of Apollo (released next month) they've managed to get collaboration efforts from David Byrne, Z-Trip, Chuck D, Method Man, RZA, Fatlip, Karen O, Tom Waits, Kanye West, Santogold, Lykke Li, Lovefoxx, Spank Rock, M.I.A., Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, and DJ AM, to name but a few, as well as making my label-tagging of this post an absolutely nightmare!

The video above is Money, featuring the services of David Byrne, Z-Trip, Chuck D, Ras Congo, and Seu Jorge. The video even has artwork by Shepard Fairey (you mightn't know who that is but you've probably seen his handiwork.)

The track below, meanwhile, is a cut from Gifted, featuring Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li. Weird chorus harmonies but me likey the slappy drums and synths! These guys definitely have talent, and I can see this album (when it comes out) being absolutely HUGE. Prepare yourselves for the invasion...
