Sounds GOOD brings you new music by artists we love. Pay what you want to download the track, and GOOD will donate the net proceeds to a worthy organization. (Payments are not tax-deductible. Net proceeds are the total revenue from sales minus transaction costs.)
As the bassist for
tUnE-yArDs (2011's
Pazz & Jop Best Album winner), Nate Brenner combines spacey funk with avant-garde pop. Under the moniker
Naytronix, he uses a parade of electronics, samples, and DIY instruments to create a chromatic brand of off-kilter dance music.
Brenner's new cover of Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done for Me Lately" perfectly exemplifies this sound. A duet with tUnE-yArDs band leader Merrill Garbus, Naytronix's take on the '80s R&B classic is trippy and experimental but accessible and utterly fun.
Stream "What Have You Done for Me Lately" above, then pay any amount to download it. Net proceeds will be donated to the
Alameda County Community Food Bank. You can also download Naytronix's new EP for free at the
Plug Research website (just enter your email address and the label will send you a link).
