Wise Blood - "Loud Mouths" (Supreme Cuts Remix)

Chicago's future R&B crew Supreme Cuts just dropped their debut EP through Small Plates Records.  The 27-minute Trouble EP is an infectious blend of experimental noise and R&B bliss chopped in a blender.  You can grab it on 10" straight from Small Plates or digitally from Amazon or iTunes.  What's more, their debut performance at Chicago's Empty Bottle was mind-bogglingly good.  In celebration of all the cool shit that's been happening, the duo have graciously gifted this remix of Wise Blood for our listening pleasure.  Their take on "Loud Mouths" is a cinematic ear-slap that's swollen with strings and fits of distorted vocals.

New Supreme Cuts - "Issues"

New song from Chicago's Supreme Cuts.  More screwed and tweaked future R&B like "Amnesia" and "Months" before it.  Not sure this post requires any additional commentary.  I mean, just look at that artwork.  Yup.  Pretty much says it all.  "Issues" sounds like a face-to-face encounter with a four-fingered, two-thumbed, anatomically androgynous R. Kelly doll in the middle of steamy dream pool that's also a dimensional portal.  Creepy?  Yes.  Am I lovin' it anyway?  Definitely.  Rising designation from Pitchfork any day now...

Supreme Cuts - "Amnesia" & "Months"

Been digging Supreme Cuts pretty hard ever since I heard them on Friendship Bracelet the other day.  The Chicago act chops up R&B and serves it over some seriously sick and twisted beats.  Seems like these songs could even be cut from the same cloth as Two Inch Punch, if that cloth was spattered with salmonella and left to fester for a few days.  "Amnesia" almost qualifies as lovestep, but the more you listen, you realize it's really whining-baby-step.  Meanwhile, "Months" alternates between air raid sirens, cavernous percussion and diva vocals.  These are indeed supreme cuts, infected and raw.  Like the freshest scabs, you just wanna keep pickin' at 'em.
