Download Now: Take 'Em Up-Shit Robot

Shit Robot, aka Marcus Lambkin, has put out one of the finer dance records this year, his long-awaited debut, From the Cradle to the Rave(DFA Records). Although the title of the album leaves something to be desired, the music and beats on the album do not disappoint. This should come as no surprise, 'cause pretty much everything that comes out of the DFA factory turns to gold. And with guests like Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip and DFA master sensei and LCD Soundsystem frontman, Mr. James Murphy, Shit Robot has made sure his contribution in the DFA gold-making process is a success.

Upon listening to From the Cradle to the Rave, one would think that Taylor or Murphy might steal the show on the album. This does not hold true, however, as Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem and The Juan Maclean) completely steals the show with her vocals on the standout track, "Take 'Em Up." Full disclosure: After seeing LCD Soundsystem 7 times this year(nerd or awesome? Probably both), I have developed quite the crush on Ms. Nancy. She's one of those girls that's cool without even trying. On this track, her almost seductive vocals make staying at the party for way too long sound like a good idea. Note: When you think it's time to leave, LEAVE. If you're not convinced of Nancy's charm, wait till the 4:37 mark where she kinda crushes it with a Deborah Harry-like rap that's also very reminiscent of her vocals on LCD's "Get Innocuous."

Watch the awesome video for "Take 'Em Up" and Nancy in Rotoscope below! Btw, more girls need to start wearing puffy Zubaz-like pants. You just got own it like Nancy does!
