So… I’m not usually into the whole “ironically ignorant hipster dance” side of things – but when its done right, I really can’t be mad at it. And the Super Viral Brothers, in my opinion, are just that.

SBV’s are a new duo made up of singer Anthony Mills (AKA Mr. Calderon) and producer Olle Corneer (a pretty accomplished solo artist under the name Dibaba) – both hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. Their first offering as a group is a free “37 minute long stream-of-consciousness” entitled Flu Shot Mixtape.

The mix, which was supposedly made in a single day, finds Dibaba incorporating elements of everyone from The Velvet Underground to Aphex Twin, The Stooges to Portishead, Devo to Fela Kuti and a slew others, as the perfect backdrop for Calderon’s catchy-ass WTF-worthy lyrics like “We want hot chocolate and we want it now/Plus a polar bear rug to complement the style/An Eskimo stripper would be the shit right now – oh yeah!”.

The majority of Calderon’s lyrics are similarly riddled with drug references and innuendo of the most ridiculous kind – all sang with a sharp deadpan(?) delivery in some of the catchiest melodies you’re likely to hear on a free mixtape. You can preview three of my favorite tracks from the mixtape below before getting the full free download at the bottom.
