Brooklyn rapper Theophilus London’s debut LP, Timez Are Weird These Days — all about love and loss in the digital age — drops on July 19, but you can check out (and download) a new track today on Mashable.
Yes, we usually share new music on Mondays, but this week was a holiday and we were too busy gazing up at exploding fire bombs to track down some tunes. So take this premiere as a kind of recompense.
Today’s tune is a remix of “Why Even Try,” a chiming anti-love song (the opening totally recalls David Bowie’s “Underground,” check it out) featuring Tegan & Sara’s Sara Quin that should provide sufficient accompaniment to your weekend’s misadventures.
When we asked London about the digital undertones in the album (bad reception equates lost love in this particular track), he told us: âThe digital world has exposed us to everything we need in life. Life is great. Life is weird.â
Make use of the trappings of that digital world and check out the track below. To download it, click on the “Tracks” tab in the player.
