Videotapemusic “Hot Pants in the Summercamp”

I try to avoid describing artists’ work by saying it’s like another more famous act’s work as much as I can, mostly because I think it’s lazy and sorta insulting. So with that in mind, please understand that when I say that Videotapemusic reminds me a lot of The Avalanches, I don’t mean that in a vague “recommended if you like” way, or that I think “Hot Pants in the Summercamp” is just a cheap emulation of Since I Left You. But this certainly has the smooth and luxurious party vibe of that record, and it’s an elegantly composed collage of samples, so yes, The Avalanches. Honestly, I’m sure Videotapemusic would be flattered to be favorably compared to them. Anyway, if you’re planning some kind of fancy party near a swimming pool in Los Angeles or Miami, please consider putting this on your playlist.
