Exclaim! has a great interview with Jesse Keeler of Death From Above 1979 about his new electro/house project, MSTRKRFT. While he doesn’t exactly say that his old band is breaking up, it was peppered with allusions to his shift in musical focus.
“Before DFA 1979, I found that I could do it all simultaneously and be happy with everything,” Keeler says. “Then the one band took over all my time and things started falling off, and I no longer had any time to do anything really.”
Unfortunately the one question they don’t ask is how we’re supposed to pronounce “MSTRKRFT.” Mister Kraft? Whatever, here’s some superb music to get faux-angry to.
MP3: Death From Above 1979 - Dead Womb
