The Duo of Tim Story and Andrea Mathews Has Also Released A Compelling Intergalactic Sci-Fi Themed Video For the Track
|
Tim Story, a Grammy nominated producer and one half of the enigmatic and soulful indie pop duo Blue Tofu (www.bluetofu.com [2]), calls their blend of seductive, brooding grooves, deep visceral textures and his partner Andrea Mathews‘ haunting vocals “mutant pop music…sort of trip-hop with a smoky, David Lynch kind of vibe.”Their delightfully hard to peg sound is back on the charts, with their latest single “Hunger Tango [3]“ impressively at #10 on the Billboard Hot Single Sales Chart for the week ending November 8.
Blue Tofu’s previous single from their new album Our Room reached #2 on the same chart and hit the Top 25 on the FMQB AC40 Radio chart. The duo has also just released a buoyant, compelling sci-fi video for the “Hunger Tango” which features Mathews in colorful makeup aboard a spaceship populated with various intergalactic workers. The video was directed by filmmaker Al Franklin. The clip can be viewed athttp://www.youtube.com/watch? The video is already attracting attention from across the video programming spectrum, including video on-demand (PCMusic); multi-market (H2o Television, which connects with 1.6 million potential viewers on cable throughout the five boroughs of New York City); regional (Video Hits, which reaches 1 million potential viewers on cable in Rochester, Syracuse andBuffalo, NY); and retail pool/content provider (ScreenPlay, which services music video reels that go to over 25,000 prominent retailers, nightclubs and restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, including Macys and IKEA). In their July/August 2013 issue, The Absolute Sound - a popular magazine that reviews audiophile-oriented music and equipment- chose Blue Tofu’s self-titled debut as one of the Top 40 Best Sounding Recordings of all time. This ranking puts Blue Tofu on a list with some of the most legendary multi-million selling albums of all time – including Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, and classics by Sinatra, Joni Mitchell, even Stravinsky. Despite a DNA that slides effortlessly through retro lounge, noir jazz and electronica, Our Room remains bracingly modern - not at all out of place with artists like Beach House, Amanda Palmer or Feist.
