Ford & Lopatin are Joel Ford and Daniel Lopatin. They met in sixth grade, and have spent the last few years making music alone as Tigercity and Oneohtrix Point Never respectively. For the last year they've made music together as Games, but had to change their names because lawyers said so. Undeterred, Ford & Lopatin are still as playful as ever, "Emergency Room" a low-tech, hi-fi fun jammer that flexes where it's supposed to chill, and dips where it's meant to surge. This is party music for lab technicians, influenced by Kraftwerk's robo-funk, the strange wail of Eighties fusion guitars and the sociopathic vocals dude from American Psycho heard in his dreams at night. Their new album Channel Pressure is out June 7 through Mexican Summer's Software Imprint—if it's anything like this, and the EP they made together as Games (the cunningly named That We Can Play) it'll be well worth the money you need to take it from the record store to your MIDI heart.
