For the last year or so Ed Banger star SebastiAn was most probably finding the meaning of life with shaman deep in the Amazon. Actually he was working on his debut album 'Total' which drops on the 30th of May. Thankful Ed Banger have been kind enough to give us a taste of what to expect with the 'Embody' EP which comes out on the last week of March. If that wasn't enough Ed Banger art director 'So_Me' has stepped up on production duties for the video, rightly so after the success of his work with MGMT and on Duck Sauce's superrrr hit 'Barbara Streisand'
Ed Banger label boss Busy P had these kind words to say about the video...
Some say he is the dark side of Ed Banger records, I know he likes it, and I must say I agree with that. But i also believe Sebastian created what people are calling the Ed Banger sound, he is the twisted head of Ed Rec. Today, he is pushing it a little bit further, and he makes me a happy label boss. "Embody" is not the boring "banger" you could expect from the man responsible for heavy weight club hits "Smoking kills?" "Walkman" and "Ross Ross Ross" Do I need to remind you I signed him for darker sounds like "Head/off", "shoot" or "HAL" ? Did you know Daft Punk said he delivered the best remix they ever had for "Human after all" ? When I heard "Embody" for the first time I imagined Prince and Sebastian in Paris, sharing a glass of wine in a smoky basement. He surprised me and I hope you'll be touched too. So Me directed the video, Dj Premier and Kavinsky provided the remixes."Embody" is now yours.
