Watch the Soothing Video for Andrew Huang’s “Stay (Santa Monica)”

Posted on by

If people refer to fresh debuts as ‘new new’, then this could be classified as ‘old new’. It’s new because it’s been unreleased, but both the song and video were actually created some time ago. The song is off Andrew Huang‘s Love Songs project that dropped back last fall, while the video itself predates that by a year, having been filmed in November 2010. I guess Huang has had this in his back pocket for quite some time now.

Filmed in Santa Monica by Philip Bowser, November 2010. I know I know, that’s like a year and a half ago…I was waiting for it to be all summertime outside before posting this…and then 2011 got really crazy…and now here we are…

Songs To Wear Pants To Releases a “Twitter Song”… in 140 Characters

Sticking to the constraints of the ubiquitous micro-blogging platform, Songs to Wear Pants to (Andrew Huang) has written a song where the lyrics are comprised of 140 characters. As you can imagine, it’s not a terribly long “song”, and more a humorous exercise of creativity in melody, though some of you may find yourself amused. And I think that’s the end goal anyway. DL the song, here.

Andrew Huang Releases “The Hounds” MV

Here’s another cut from Andrew Huang‘s Retrospective mega-album that dropped recently. “The Hounds” is more of a conventional Hip-Hop track from the genre defying artist (it’s just one long rap verse). The video was shot in Hong Kong and features a lot of footage of the city’s landscape at night. Rap heads will probably appreciate this one over some of his more… shall we say, experimental work.

“I Might Have Heard Your Song” Video Released by Andrew Huang

Off his recently released Retrospective project from earlier this week, Andrew Huang is promoting a video for “I Might Have Heard Your Song”. In true STWPT (Songs to Wear Pants to) style, it’s a bit artsy, a bit bizarre, and inexplicable intriguing – to a fault. If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to have glitchy doppelganger/clones around, then you should check out this video and see. The song was originally produced back in 2007.

Andrew Huang Releases a ‘Retrospective’ Album

Partially as a means of closure Andrew Huang has released the Retrospective album today. It’s a collection of music from the past decade comprised of a mixture of unheard material and remastered archives. Last year, Andrew Huang decided to consolidate all of his musical aliases under his true name; this is the result of the tying up of loose ends. It’s one gigantic package of nearly 60 tracks that spread a wide gamut of sounds and genres – just as one would expect form Huang.

Purchase: Bandcamp, iTunes

Comprising 59 songs and sketches from a decade-long period of production and experimentation, Retrospective is approximately half never-before-heard material, as well as being the final re-release nod to my former work under other aliases.

Prolific to a fault and blurring genre boundaries as usual, the previously unreleased pieces are culled from nine albums-in-progress which I’ve scrapped for lack of time. (See this blog post:andrewismusic.tumblr.com/post/19952829406/priorities )

I hope you’ll fall in love with the songs that are actually songs, and enjoy peaking into the bizarre parts of my brain that are represented in the other material on here.

Rarely to be the one to go the conventional route, Andrew Huang presents the latest video for a single off his Schism project from last November, “Tape/Brazil”. This one is done in the style of stop motion animation, utilizing props and some visual effects to create something strange and unique. But at this point, would you expect anything less from Mr Huang?

Songs To Wear Pants To Participates in Mock Battle with SoundlyAwake

Calling this an actual battle is a bit of misnomer as this was more of a mutual willingness to clown on each other in the name of video entertainment, but Songs To Wear Pants To & SoundlyAwake decided to square off in a lyrical competition as Youtube contemporaries. They both use the same beat and put together quick videos in an interesting bit of cross-promotion. You can catch both entries below.

To commemorate 8 zany years as Songs to Wear Pants to, Andrew Huang has released a “best-of” compilation album in conjunction with DFTBA records. And when we say compilation, we mean a super-sized collection of tracks from over the years, some never commercially available. There are 66 tracks in all along with some bonus material, all for the price of 12 dollars. That works out to be about 18-19 cents a track. That’s Costco value, right there.

Andrew Huang can always be counted on for a steady stream of new releases. This leap year brings us a 4 song EP called Musculature from the artist fondly known as Songs to Wear Pants to.
