2 videos from 1 band making electronic music with sampled choral vocals

Do you like electronic music, sacred music, twitchy dancing, bouncing balls, and repeated images? Then you might like the music video for "Three Songs", by Lakker (Directed by Eileen Carpio.)
Do you prefer your electronic music with a lot more distortion and wub, and your videos to have close-ups of heads? Then you might like the video for "Mountain Divide" a bit more.

And so proceeds the gentle deterioration of my synaptic connections.

I read "...with sampled vocal chords".

That would be the latest tune by DJ Hannibal.

If it was anybody, it'd be Matmos I reckon :)

Also - Oh hey I know those guys and some of those vocal chords. Great to see them get more and more recognition!

If you liked the second one and by some amazing mishap of history you've never heard it, slap your aurals around Aphex Twin's Digeridoo. The first Aphex track I ever heard, on John Peel (may he forever be exalted among the righteous). That remains in my memory as a moment when my synapses palpably regrouped in abject pleasure.

Pitchfork has a brief interview with Lakker in which they talk a bit about the Three Songs video.
