Listen: Brian Eno Embraces Robot Funk on 'Glitch'

Brian Eno collaborated with poet Rick Holland to create Drums Between the Bells, the innovative musician and producer's second album for the highly respected electronic music label Warp Records. Whereas Eno's previous album for the label, Small Craft on a Milk Sea, favored dirty guitars and ambient drones, the first track from Drums, "Glitch," leans hard on funky bass and buzzing synthesizers. Holland's words are delivered in a computerized monotone, making the song come off like the disco daydreams of a very pensive hard drive. The album will be in stores on July 5th, but you can hear the song in the SoundCloud stream below.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
