New Girl Talk album now available for free download
Add Pittsburgh artist Girl Talk (a.k.a. Gregg Gillis) to the list of acts that are giving their new music away in hopes of bolstering their fan base.
The album, “Feed The Animals,” is now available digitally via a “pay what you want plan” on the website IllegalArt.net. The album will be officially released on CD by Illegal Art on September 23rd and on vinyl by Wham City Records this fall.
Any price grants the download of the entire album as high quality mp3s. $5 or more includes the album as high quality mp3s, plus the album as one long track, which is how Gillis intended for people to listen to the album. $10 or more includes all of the above and a packaged CD when its available in September.
On his fourth album, Girl Talk continues his evolution towards his party-infested live shows. The new album, which took two years to make, uses 300 samples in over 50 minutes. Iin his samples, Girl Talk leans towards the fun and accessible. One track, “In Step,” boasts a brain-scattering mix of snippets by Roy Orbison, Beach Boys, Nirvana, Radiohead and Salt n’ Peppa.
No St. Louis show is on Girl Talk’s tour, but he will play Lollapalooza’s Citi Stage on Sun. Aug. 3 in Chicago.


No St. Louis show? I wonder if it has something to do with the naked “don’t tase me bro” moment the last time he hit St. Louis.
Good point indeed, here’s a link to the MTV story on the incident. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1574097/20071112/girl_talk.jhtml.
