New Artist

Games is the production duo Daniel Lopatin (the man behind Oneohtrix Point Never) and Joel Ford (of Tigercity).  The two are childhood friends that never got a chance to collaborate due to their respective bands but lucky for us came together to create the sample based electronic experience that is Games.  The sound is oft dark yet still feels full of color as if standing an empty room filled with nothing but strobing neon lights.  Their debut 7″ Everything is Working dropped in August and is already sold out.  But don’t fret, a 12″ EP cleverly titled That We Can Play is due out November 2nd and can be preordered at Hippos in Tanks.  Listen to two of our favorite tracks below and be sure to grab the new EP while it lasts.
