For anyone who may not know their channel, TP Burrow has been posting great little short-form lightly edited clips from Critical Role for ages and ages, and recently started up a series of “Forgotten Gems”: especially funny moments from campaign 1, like the saga of shock and betrayal that is Marisha’s evil opal die.
This is 2/3 of a band called Too Many Zooz (they’re lacking their trumpeter here), the song is called ‘Flightning,’ and the genre is “brass house” (which i think they made up but hey i dig it). They have a handful of songs on Spotify and just successfully Kickstarted their first full-length album.
this song as the opening to a new anime by Shinichiro Watanabe honestly
These guys are CHARACTERS for a Watanabe anime.
I seriously love these guys, because they’re so interesting from a music-theory perspective. Their use of intense beats, syncopation, deep bass, and blaring harmonics borrows a lot from modern club music
they’re basically playing dubstep on traditional instruments. Seriously, listen to some tracks with all three of them together, and tell me that’s not what they’re doing
Honestly that was the impression I got from watching just the two in this video. It’s the same sorts of beats and progressions, and it’s impressive.
Their Moana is very talented, and their Maui is a local newscaster whose daughters made him audition!
Rachel House still voices Grandma Tala, Temuera Morrison still voices the Chief, and Jemaine Clement still voices Tamatoa.
Rob Ruha and Jemaine Clement translated and rearranged the music so that the songs still worked while sung in a different language, which is super impressive.
this news is from earlier this year, you can now actually listen/watch the te reo version in clips on youtube now. this one is pretty exemplary of the original and new voice actors together! ❤
i'll apple your turnover
