Foreseeing the apocalypse, the mid-80s Dust Brothers traveled back in time and kidnapped King Tubby, Jean Michel Jarre and Curtis Mayfield, forcing them to produce an album and share awkward meals with My Bloody Valentine and Talking Heads. Having stolen Four Tet's MPC, Danger Mouse's budget, Daniel Johnston's meds and a crate of records from Afrika Bambaata's basement, the group created what would later be considered the last great work of the pre-mutant era. During the riots, opportunistic hucksters Cubik and Origami stole the master tapes and released the work as their own: Slept in On Doomsday.
Toxic hurricane sludge, endless war and the eternal question of what to do with one’s Saturday night when the world’s about to implode… Cubik and Origami mine these topics and more on Slept In On Doomsday, their new release on Dinner Party Records. Originally known for the slow-burning downtempo funk of their eponymous debut on Wide Hive Records, and an intricate beatbox/instrumental EP in 2007, the duo have since broadened their outlook, quilting electro, IDM and indie rock details into their earth-toned hip-hop tapestries. The resulting record, their most song-driven work to date, draws comparisons to such disparate acts as Jamie Lidell, Danger Mouse and The Album Leaf.
Slept in on Doomsday is out now on Dinner Party Records, and is available for purchase here or on all major download sites such as iTunes and emusic.com.
Taking the material live, C&O employ turntables, vocals, drums, bass and electronics, bending the songs to their will and to the delight of dance floors and opium dens alike

Cubik & Origami's eponymous 2nd album on Wide Hive Records blends funky downtempo, blunted jazz, electro, IDM, space rock and indie pop into a mesmerizing continuous-mixed experience that creaks, wiggles, gets down and dirty, sings, laughs, freezes and thaws.. I mean.. You just have to hear it. You can download from the iTunes music store and mp3.com, or buy it from Giant Peach.
C&O also an EP collaboration with the kaleidoscopic human drum machine that is Eachbox. You can check out tracks on C&O and Eachbox's profiles, and buy the CD here. While you're at it, check out this stellar review from HumanBeatbox.com.
Oh yeah ... Cubik & Origami are also one half of maximal funtacular tech house/electro quartet The Fingermonsters. Check it out!
