The new Karen O track (If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough from the Jackass 3D soundtrack. You can listen to this track here) has garnered quite a bit of attention on the blogosphere as of late. Lucky for Karen O fans there’s another new Karen O track that hit the airwaves recently and is just as deserving of the attention.
Technically, this isn’t a Karen O track. The track belongs to Maximum Balloon’s (TV on the Radio bandmember/producer Dave Sitek) recent self-titled release. The Karen O track is Communion and I really dig it. It has a very It’s Blitz! sound, and it should, especially considering Mr. Sitek was one of the albums producer’s. MIXTAPE MAESTRO (2.0) pretty much gives the best description of the track, so I’m not even going to try, but go ahead and listen to the track (below) and let me know what you think.
As a little bonus, i’m also including If You Return (ft. Little Dragon), another excellent Maximum Balloon track.
