“OPST” by George Maple

I wrote this morning that Dead Times’s “Inner Gold” is seduction in a 3 minute, 19 second track.

I realized this afternoon that “OPST” sounds like George Maple‘s response to a Dead Times sexual encounter. Maple soulfully sighs, “just make a move and let me melt into your frame. I never want to talk about it. Just wrap me up in your gold sheets.”

[NEW:] “Inner Gold” by Dead Times

LA alternative R&B duo Dead Times released their latest track “Inner Gold” this morning – adding yet another track of theirs to BoxSpeaker’s Music To Bone To list.

“Inner Gold” is the perfect seduction method. Its first 36 seconds are quiet – just subtle fingersnaps and the singer basically describing a woman’s inner beauty – leaving one to feel like it’s not about the superficial sex appeal. Then, the beats come in and the moans used to harmonize with the singer.

“Feel” by Dead Times for Stella McCartney Autumn-Winter 2013-2014

Dead Times is a Los Angeles-based electro, “alternative R&B” group. However, I discovered them while I was in Bristol because they were connected to a Valentina track via SoundCloud.

To add even more international connections, their track “Feel” was featured in the Vogue Paris video of Stella McCartney’s 2013-2014 autumn-winter collection.

I got chills and literally was at my desk with my mouth hanging open. This video and also the Free People ad featuring Freja Beha and a depressing Mal Blum song are two examples of the amazing intersection of music and fashion. This and all the fun I had putting together a playlist for Work It, Berk seriously made me lock down my decision to finally pursue DJing fashion shows.
