Cecil from Gobble Gobble has to be one of the hardest working musicians out there these days. It seems that every two weeks I get an update from him concerning new songs or new projects that I can hardly keep up. Case in point, this remix tape appropriate entitled Gobbl’d Volume I set to be released in physical form by Scotch Tapes sometime in July (with cover art by Jheri over at GOTC).
Composed of tracks that he’s steadily been releasing the past couple of months on myspace under the heading GBL GBL RMX CABARET, the tape showcases not only Cecil’s talent of reconstructing a song from the ground-up but also his incredibly eclectic taste in music. I mean, I like to consider myself at least moderately informed when it comes to emerging groups and even then I find myself googling half the band names on the tape for the first time just to find out how the original sounds! If the whole “music thing” doesn’t work out — something that looks less and less likely as time goes by — there is certainly a spot for him in the blog world.
Below are two of my favorite tracks from the remix tape. If you like what you hear, for a limited time you can download the entire tape for free from Gobble Gobble’s tumblr page.
