MadeLoud artist Rutz got in touch recently, saying "How's it going? Listen to my latest song: "That's what happens when you love" ....Let me know what U think!"
Well Rutz, it's a pretty interesting track, and you readers can hear for yourselves (the download is free). More than anything else, the track sounds like a hybrid of kind of scattered experimental hip-hop track that recalls dub (with the echo and beat) and with the repetition and oddness, maybe an artist like Quebec sound artist Berger Rond.
Rutz himself describes the song as "what I call the RUTZ genre. The title of the song speaks for it self. Someone once told me "Some times Love is not enough" I can understand that now."
So who is this Rutz dude? Like everyone else he has a blog, and on his you get new songs, like "Al Bundy" about the television character of the same name, and digressions on film as well.
As a bonus, here is a short film that Rutz directed called Sit Here This Evening. The couple goes from small talk to an argument in about two seconds, which I think is a new record.
Sit Here This Evening from Morning Bell Productions on Vimeo.
I love how much stuff there is to do on this site. It is really cool, and the short film clip shows how people can really go from a conversation to an argument in about two seconds.
Music, blogs, and film is all offered for our online addictions so that we can spend a while getting to know new artists and what they are really up to in their field.
