Tarsius’ debut album Primate is out now from Number Line Records! Did I mention that it’s free? Heck yes.
Primate is the debut album from laptop and drums duo Tarsius, comprised of wunderkind Diego Mapa (Pedicab, The Diegos, among others) and Jay Gapasin (The Radioactive Sago Project). Combining samples, electronic tracks, live drum tracks, as well as vocals from several collaborators, Primate is an eclectic collection that moves from dance-floor fillers such as “Deathless Gods,” to drum-and-bass throwbacks like “Chosen Few,” to darker, more contemplative efforts such as “Whirling Dervish.” Mapa’s and Gapasin’s broad interest in electronic music is apparent throughout Primate, as is their belief in the “no rules, no thinking” philosophy of major influences such as Daedelus. On Primate, Mapa and Gapasin extend the project further by collaborating with artists such as Slow Hello, Archaster, Evil Scientists, Caliph8 and Malek Lopez.
Primate is available as a free download for a limited period. It will be released in vinyl in early 2012.
Do it. Now.
AMIGO, the 17th feature film from Academy Award-nominated writer-director John Sayles, stars legendary Filipino actor Joel Torre as Rafael, a village mayor caught in the murderous crossfire of the Philippine-American War. Veteran actor Joel Torre appealed to Filipinos to support “Amigo,” as it competes alongside box-office giants “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.”
“Amigo” is being screened in 12 cinemas only compared to the more than 100 theaters that carry the big budget Hollywood movie “Transformers.” Many cinemas are also expected to screen “Harry Potter” next week.
