Two years after the latest album “Slow Burning Lights“, the duo BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH is back with a new album entitled “Third party” released on the label FAKE FOUR INC. This is the end of a great time with the hip hop label Babygrande Records and a new hopeful start for the band. If you don’t know the “underground” BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH, we can presented their style like ambient music with a real soulful influence from Hip-Hop. So, it’s music to make you happy to be sad when you are listening :
“THIRD PARTY” album released the september 7th is more electro pop than the previously however this project keeping the wistful touch and the background influences. For this way, BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH is accompanied by the singerAlexander Chen (of Boy In Static and The Consulate General). It’s simply another jewel!

To discover B.S.B.D as a fan, I will advise to start by the listening of “LATE NIGHT CINEMA” to understand their vibes and the evolution of their music to “THIRD PARTY”.The BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH’s discography is like the Vost of the life with a lot of feelings…

Xwave headset is the first brainwave interface (builded by PLX Devices) which lets you control your Iphone, Ipad with your mind. Once you have the X-Wave headset fixed on your head and plugged into your iphone, you might be able to make a phone call handcuffed (Whooaaaaa!!!).

This device basically translates your brainwaves into electrical impulses to control applications.

I don’t for you, but this kind of crap technology freaks me out…
Anyway, for those interested, it’ll be available in October.
