Bulk Recordings and Got A Girl – Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Dan “The Automator” Nakamura – are streaming their debut album I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now a week ahead of release via Hype Machine. Out on Bulk Recordings July 22nd, the album is available now for pre-order via Amazon and iTunes.
“It’s an airy confection, pure, sweet, and perfect for summer.” – The Onion AV Club
“Somebody give us a cigarette to smoke like we’re in Paris in the 1920s.” – Noisey/Vice
“Dan the Automator reminds us of his classical training with nostalgia-pop production fit for a Tarantino film, but riddles it with Gorillaz-esque drums; Winstead, meanwhile, is perfectly cast as the soulful voice bemoaning a fantasy in the lounge spotlight as the synths blare.” – SPIN
Got A Girl’s enthralling debut album, sees Nakamura – whose innumerable, inimitable credits include influential production (Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon, Gorillaz) and membership in such visionary collaborations as Deltron 3030, Lovage, and Handsome Boy Modeling School – cooking up one of the most exuberant sonic confections of his brilliant career, a giddy and impressionistic setting for Winstead’s — known for her work in the films Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, The Spectacular Now, and next seen in Kill the Messenger — sweetly detached vocal delivery and nuanced lyricism.
I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Nowis a perfectly realized union of atmospheric ambience and ambitious songcraft. The Automator is of course a master of genre subversion and experimental futurism, effortlessly transmogrifying hip-hop, psychedelia, found sounds, and all manners of pop and world music with his singular taste for prolix wordplay, multiple personas and conceptual adventure. The sonic landscape calls up far flung locales both real and imagined, knit together by restless grooves, elastic dubby beats, and Winstead’s complex characterizations.
