On Repeat: Hercules & Love Affair [ft. Antony]: "Blind" [Stream]

Brooklyn producer Andy Butler is Hercules and Love Affair, he's signed to DFA, and he's got an album coming up-- produced with Tim Goldsworthy and with vocals by Antony-- that people are justifiably stoked about. "Blind" has been available as a free download from EMI for a bit if you don't mind signing up for the H&LA mailing list, but you can also check out the track on the project's MySpace page. Throbbing, rubbery, simultaneously hip-moving loose and mechanically propulsive, the music floats underneath Antony like a cloud. For his part, he inhabits the lyric in his Nina Simone mode, mixing a lusty forwardness with an undercurrent of insecurity. So "Blind", yeah; sounds great with your eyes closed, anyway.
