Home Girl

Penetrated

Skyscraper

I forgot about this track we did back in December.

Mescaline

Stick Figure

We've been sitting on this one for a minute. 

Hayley

Really old thing from 2013. I don't really remember recording it. This was a really early We Like People session, we were still getting our bearings. I'm pretty sure those horns were stolen from Madlib. We dug this up while trying to find another old file last night, and we really liked this weird unfinished beat and decided it was a song right there.

Slow Business

Our first track of 2015!!! Strap in! So we hadn't written a song since "Hayley" was written last summer. It's been a long time. We've both been working on individual things all year though. So now we sat down and wrote a 9 minute progressive dance song. This is unusual for us, but it was a simple format for us to get all of our pent up energy and ideas out. Scott got this old obscure Roland synth which is apparently the same engine as the Juno 106, and it was used extensively in this piece. God dammit I love that thing, it's dope. 

Emotional Mathematics

Snares go crack!!! So I made Scott listen to "Like Me Ft. BJ The Chicago Kid" by Joey Bada$$ because that song is the apex of quality rap music. Immediately after the song finished we went to work and definitely had a Dilla vibe in mind with this tune. A lot of stuff was left unquantized in the sequencer. Scott spent almost all of this song on guitar. He has such an aimless way of playing, it's great, he improvises constantly.

We Like J Dilla

This is an old one. We never really considered it a 'song'. Scott hadn't slept in a few days and did the freestyle drums on some roland drum pad thing. I just set up the rest of the arrangement on Maschine 1.8, and tried to keep things minimal. This was an unusual method for us, and we haven't really done anything like it since. I didn't tell Scott I was gonna post this. I'm not sure if he remembers it, actually.

Slacker

The strangest knob-tweakers in Minneapolis are covering new ground in electronic music. We Like People is an exploration outside of conventional electronic forms. Unique sounds and rhythms are crafted from strange tastes, experimentation, and fierce originality in the laboratory where they work; as well as influences from Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Mount Kimbie, Mouse on Mars, and other contemporary composers.
