The Internet – Special Affair (Kinda Neat) [video]
The Internet performs “Special Affair,” off their record Ego Death, live in studio after a long conversation with Intuition on the Kinda Neat podcast.
In our 90th episode we talked to Matt Martians and Syd of The Internet before they head for a city near you on tour. Their new record, Ego Death, is a breezy dreamscape of a soul album that finds Syd more mature, more comfortable with her voice, and more revealing of her personality than their prior releases. It’s easy to pick up on why these two would work together creatively so well. Their energies almost seem opposite; Syd laid back, cool and quiet, seemingly scoping things out, while Matt is boisterous and opinionated, speaking with authority on a myriad of subjects. But the longer you talk, the more you see their dynamic occasionally flip flop and realize there’s a definitive give and take that alludes to their obvious teamwork. Hear us talk about learning as you go and improving along the way, first impressions being hard shake, and why you should be nice to venue security.
