Electric Picnic Countdown - Shit Robot

It's amazing that Marcus Lambkin, aka, Shit Robot, is in his forties and only released his first album last year.  The story goes that this Wicklow lad became friends with James Murphy while DJing in New York which subsequently led to him being signed to DFA.


Being signed to the label resulted in album contributions by other DFA artists, and the two songs that I've chosen from his debut album feature Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip (Losing My Patience) and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem (Take 'Em Up).


Losing My Patience is directed by Fergal Brennan and I'm proud to say my friend Karl worked on it as a modelmaker.

Maybe Lambkin wants to showcase Irish directorial talent as this second video featuring Nancy Whang using some really nice stop-motion was directed and produced by Eoghan Kidney.
