For whatever reason, it's all been very slow progress for The Aspririns For My Children but, promisingly, his SoundCloud has been a hive of activity for the past few months and now we're being treated to a video for his track Cutter. A good one it is too.

Just Like A Pill

An artist I've watched with keen interest since first being introduced to him by Illegal Tender in early 2009 is electro whizz-kid The Aspirins For My Children.

Eimear and I played some of his earlier tracks like 'Hollow Out' and 'Cutter' to death but then, after a clutch of great remixes for the likes of Frankmusik and Marina & The Diamonds, it all got very quiet and seemed as though The Aspirins had been, um, swallowed.

Thankfully, in the past couple of months, TAFMC (aka 23-year-old Daniel Barker) has returned with a clutch of new material, including collaborations with the rather brilliant Talking Pictures.

Here's a couple of my picks of his stuff but I'd seriously encourage delving into his Tumblr and SoundCloud account.

TAFMC featuring Talking Pictures - Someone Else by theaspirinsformychildren

TAFMC - Confusion Girl (FrankMusik Remix) by theaspirinsformychildren

The Good Natured - Your Body Is A Machine (The Aspirins For My Children Remix)

D'oh

Hey,

I discovered the wonderful 'The Aspirins for My Children' through your blog so thought you might be interested to hear their mix of Marina and the Diamonds' 'Obsessions'.

Hi,

Glad to hear you love the remix! I actually manage Aspirins now, but feel free to recommend more things in future though, you clearly have good taste!

Oops.

In any case, you really should get into 'The Aspirins For My Children'. Below is a peculiar video of lego figuirines modelling Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's Spring/Summer Collection that features their track 'Hollow Out'.
