VJ Samsonite's "Hot New Music" song of the day is....

....Propane Nightmares by Australia drum and bass/rock group Pendulum. Originally coming at us out of Perth, Australia (on da west coast!), Pendulum relocated to the UK in 2003 where they began to gain increased popularity. I love Propane Nightmares just because it is so unpredictable, which is part of this groups unique style. It starts out with latin sounding horns (sort of like a Cat Empire type of intro), then moves into a more main-streamish rock sound, only to change yet again when it busts out into a full-on drum and bass session. Pendulum does an excellent job of blending their drum and bass style with rock, electro-synth, and other more unpredictable musical elements not mentioned here. Pendulum have released 3 studio albums, with Propane Nightmares coming off of their 2008 In Silico album, which makes it 2 years old already (bloody oath!). They have also released an album this year (2010) called Immersion, which I myself have yet to listen to but mos def am looking forward to it. Chickity Check it!
