I got a copy of Apocalypso a couple of days ago after seeing the music videos for "This Boy's in Love" and "My People." I'd never heard of the Presets before and their videos were kinda... weird, but I dug the music. Their style is a dance-techno mesh with vocals that remind me of Funker Vogt and a bunch of industrial bands. "This Boy's in Love" is my favorite song off of Apocalypso thus far. I like the contrast in the two vocal parts of the song, and course the techno beat.More after the break, videos and download links a plenty!
The first time I heard the Presets was when I saw the video for "This Boy's in Love." The video is probably the gayest shit I've seen in a while. It's basically two dudes Greco-Roman wrestling in a shallow pool of milk, the rain... yeah. And if topless milk covered dudes aren't enough, the lead singer shows up looking like Nightcrawler from the X-Men. Gayness not withstanding, this video isn't as weird as the one for "My People." This video can be best described as a live action disco version of the Mooninites. <reading_rainbow>But you don't have to take my word for it...</reading_rainbow>
