SBTRKT- Hold On (Joneses Remix)
Here’s an interesting article about masked musicians and anonymity. SBTRKT (aka. Aaron Jerome) talks about why he chooses to conceal his identity and how the name ‘SBTRKT’ came about.

“I don’t have a problem with people knowing. It’s just if your whole point of reference is about who you are versus what it sounds like, that kind of defeats the point for me.” - Aaron Jerome (SBTRKT)
For me, Daft Punk are mysterious, their robotic outfits worked for them and their genre of music. It mightn’t have been as exciting and their success may not have been as grand as it is, had it not been for their concealed identity (though I do love their music on it’s own)
On the other hand, I like to know about the story behind the musician how they grew from anonymity to success and fame, their struggles and downfalls and how they overcame these, the personal stories behind their lyrics. For a lot of musicians the lyrical content of their songs come from deep personal experiences and they are aware of that kind of public exposure and the inevitable discussions that will arise from their work.
All in all, if SBTRKT wrote music like Daniel Johns of Silverchair (a la Abuse Me), the masked persona mightn’t work. It depends on the genre of music i.e. electronica can get away with the anonymity factor.

Aurorae are natural light displays in the sky caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude thermosphere. The particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere.

Clear Motions is the debut LP from Shades. With their echoey vocals and dreamy synths this quartet, hailing from Boise, Idaho, has been quickly climbing up our most played charts in the last couple of days, so we decided to have a quick Q&A with the guys:
Can you introduce yourselves, where you are from, and tell us your back story?
We’re all pretty much grew up in Nampa/Boise Idaho. We all met at different times in the last 6 or so years. We came together as Shades about a year ago and since then we’ve just been playing shows and focusing on writing new music for the future.Some people have described your sound to be somewhere between Joy Division and The Knife, while other people go with Washed Out, Animal Collective and even Ratatat. What are some of the bands that have influenced your sound?
We’ve all had different influences from Mogwai, Portishead, John Maus, and Lot’s of early 80’s music.With your new LP out, will there be a tour?
Yeah definitely! We’re going on a mini 3 day tour at the end of Feb. with our friends Finn Riggins and we hope to plan a tour this summer. Should be a good time!With our site being called “music to have sex to”, how do you feel about people getting down to your music?
Use protection!What are you guys currently listening to?
Brother Tiger, Pandit, Asher Roth’s new mixtape, Teeel, Gatekeeper, Sarin Sunday. Lot’s of stuff!Clear Motions can be streamed for FREE over at SoundCloud and is available for download via Amazon and iTunes. Make sure to also check out Shades at Vimeo and on Facebook.
