Tobin's on the tube...

Enigmatic Brazilian Ninja Tune-smith Amon Tobin has surfaced on YouTube with some sketchy but exciting details for his forthcoming album. The sample-bothering boy-wonder has left his turntables alone for this project, instead focusing on the found-sound ethic that his home town of Montreal seems to inspire in so many people (Sixtoo to name but one). Anyway, a video with a killer soundtrack has cropped up here of him and his microphone stealthing around everywhere from dog kennels to what look like observation towers on what must be a perilous assignment. Here's looking forward to the next album then, if he doesn't get his hand bitten off in the meantime.

*Hold up!*: A quick look on Wikipedia (of all places) has revealed a couple of other Amon morsels for all you Supermodified-freaks out there. It turns out that earlier this year he snuck in a collaboration with Mike "don't-mention-Faith-No-More" Patton on his Peeping Tom project, for a track called 'Don't Even Trip'. As soon as SB&B gets wind of what this track is like you'll be the first to know. The album also features collaborations with Massive Attack, Dan The Automator, Kid Koala, Doseone, and, er, Norah Jones... should be an interesting one ;)

As well as that the ever handy YouTube has got some trailers for an Eastern European gross-out flick, Taxidermia, that Tobin has soundtracked. The sound seems to be in a similar vein to his Chaos Theory album: dark weird Latin folk music, and the film doesn't seem to let up on that front either... excellent news! There's three clips; 1, 2, 3, to pick from, so get stuck in.
