Yea, Local Natives were supposedly recording back in the Fall. After their little tour with the National, they said they were going back to writing (via twitter). They also posted photos over the summer of the place they were recording.
I find it a little hard to believe that Fleet Foxes would diss the Walkmen, considering how they sang their praises via twitter and interviews throughout that whole tour, but OK...
Went Brent left Menomena a year ago, he said it was, in part, to focus on Ramona Falls. Back in September, on twitter, he said he was 70% done tracking the new album (though I guess that could refer to another artist's album he might be working on, but I doubt it). He's also made references to working on the second LP (on twitter), but nothing specific.
Can I make one final plea for Sharon VanEtten (2/7 via Jagjaguwar)? It's produced by Aaron Dessner! Everyone loves her (the National, Bon Iver, the Antlers, stereogum readers)!
Yea, I likewise saw this a couple months ago on IMDb. And sorry to be way fangirl here, but there's also a Sufjan playing arcade games scene in the Danielson movie. It's actually a really weird scene, because they play his live performance of "To Be Alone With You" over Daniel and he playing together, and there are some (perhaps tongue-in-cheek?) homoerotic undertones.
