It would seem that Resonator tends to unify on a small number of things, Rex The Dog being one of ‘em. The Rex The Dog Show is still set to drop very, very soon (September 8th everywhere, I think), and we’ll have some exclusive content surrounding the release of our favorite blend of Mann/Hund/Maschine.
That said, there’s a video that just released for the first single from Rex’s forthcoming first full-length (and it is, in fact, spectacular, it’s everything you love about Rex, basically all bundled up into a big 80’s warehouse rave), “I Can See You/Can You See Me?”
The mood’s a little somber in this one, with both Rex and his human seeming to remember long-lost halcyon days of rockin’ out. It fits the way The Rex The Dog Show ends, on a pretty-but-melancholy note with a reworking of Rex’s classic mood-anthem “I Look Into Midair” (one of my favorite songs ever).
Then, however, there’s this, on the other side of the mood spectrum: Rex The Dog’s remix of “Happiness”:
She-who-must-not-be-named-for-fear-of-WebSherriff-and-RIAA-threats…PLAYED BY A F-ING MONKEY PUPPET. It’s frightening that Punk Monkey gets Cronefrapp’s mannerisms down perfectly…this is just…spec-freakin’-tacular. Especially when you’ve had the ‘frapp in question threaten you with lawsuits. WTFev, this is how the song should sound anyway.
More Rex, coming very, very soon.
