I like Diplo, but life is too short for this.
All I gotta say is that this is a pretty cool track.
Would give you the link if I could but I'm not partial to posting copyrighted music on public forums. Try PMing me on Facebook, maybe.
When "Loveless" was released, I was a little more than two months old. Yet, I'm still able to enjoy the energy surrounding to release of that album's worthy follow-up. Thank you, Kevin and the gang, for the belating the release to let all us millenials enjoy the launch.
OK, a VO converted from FLAC just leaked. Sounds wonderful.
Apparently the MP3 version that the site is selling is a poor transcode to 320 kbps. Best to go with the WAV version, me thinks.
The Coachella-Facebook page recently posted an ambiguous photo of a round stone in a plain field so yeah, there's a strong possibility...
Doldrums is my most anticipated. Really looking forward to hear how he refines his sound because what he has released thus far has only just trotted the surface of brilliance. I like to think that he is just teasing his listeners in anticipation of something fantastic. Also, they might not be everybody's favorite group right now but Death Grips are planning another release. I don't think that they've recorded anything just yet but they seem to make music pretty damn quickly.
Everyone needs to do themselves a favor and listen to his Phillip Glass collaboration (called "Passages"). It's like the greatest film score that never was.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Zappa's "We're Only In It For the Money" would be swell.
Pretty cool. The production's lacking something but the sparseness gives the song a lovely Ariel Pink-esque guise.
Can't get into this record, and I loved their last two albums. :(
It seems strange to me that Westing (By Musket And Sextant) would be included among a list of long-plays when its compilation record.
P4K gave 'Here Comes the Indian' 8.6.
So cool to see "Fickle Cycle" on this list; that song is comprised of all the things that make the band's music so great (the catchy vocals, that soothing piece of ambiance, the surprise gushes of noise). Including "Chores" is a bit surprising (and the article incorrectly states that it is sung by Avey Tare) but to each his own... If I had to make a top ten, it would probably look a little like this... -Banshee Beat -Brother Sport -Did You See the Words -Essplode -Fickle Cycle -Grass -Kids On Holiday -The Purple Bottle -Safer -Slippi
Most of us will probably enjoy both albums and not waste time pretending that there's this rivalry between the two bands.
Waiting until a higher quality rip surfaces on the web (what everybody is listening to now is taken just from the stream) but for the moment, this is a highly enjoyable but sort of unremarkable entry in the band's discography. They had lot to live up to with Feels, Strawberry Jam and Merriweather Post Pavilion being their last LPs but I can't help but think that if another group like MGMT or of Montreal had released a nearly identical album, the hype wouldn't be in their favour and the album wouldn't be nearly as well received as it is now. Centipede Hz needs a few more listens but IMO, the album complements AC's catalog the same way that Age of Adz complements Sufjan Steven's catalog: by serving an over-the-top follow-up to a universally praised and more accessible record; one that offers moments of brilliance but that lacks the consistency and variety of the artist's prior efforts.
Sorry but who the heck is the Airborne Toxic Event? Am I that out-of-touch? This is almost as weird as their Top 20 Worst Bands Ever list (which included LCD Soundsystem, Sex Pistols, Fleet Foxes, RHCP, and Pearl Jam - among others).
The last quarter of "Moonjock" makes me hop around my room like a ten y.o. on a sugar-high.
It's not the first time, Moy; he did vocals on a few remixes, included the one for Phoenix's "Love Like A Sunset". And maybe you were just put off by how much his voice stood out He's obviously not a strong singer but I find him to be even less pitchy than Avey Tare. In an alternate universe where Deakin was the main vocalist and Avey surprised everybody by singing on a sole track from the band's tenth album, I'm sure that a few of us would be complaining about how odd Avey sounds. Give Deaks some time. :(
Famous last words! The entire album, track by track, is now available on their website: http://radio.myanimalhome.net/ The band was smart enough to know that one listen wouldn't suffice.
Another AC-related article, another diss from trinity firearms. For everyone's information, I'm meh on a number of popular artists (including James Blake and Black Keys, among others) but it would be futile for me to travel around Stereogum and attempt to change everyone's tastes with negative diatribes.
I was too little to know about Pavement back in the 90s (beyond that one song that was played in that Brady Bunch movie). There are tons of young adults like myself who have become huge fans of the band and who have wanted - for the longest time - to see them play in the flesh. That only justifies a reunion tour, and I'm more than happy to help a great band make more money.
The opening guitar-line reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" quite a bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1yUvdQnERk&feature=player_detailpage#t=200s In fact, I'm pretty sure that it's a direct rip-off. Oh well. It's a cute, silly song.

How are Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective similar in the first place? The former group's music has always been organic and linear whereas the latter band's music has often NOT been organic and linear. Futhermore, I've always felt as if GB have been focused on refining their sound while AC have been focused on completely changing their sound from record to record. They are two groups with two completely different musical paths, IMO, and to name your preference for one over the area is like saying that you fancy nutella more than peanut-butter. If somebody wants to compare groups then maybe pit GB against the Microphones/Mount Eeerie and AC against Liars or Black Dice/Eric Copeland.

Straight-forward but tight and emotive. The production work at the end just leaves me godsmacked. I can see this album appealing beyond the indie demographic. Grammy, maybe?
"There is no melody in here really[...]" Of every live version that AC has played of this song, Avey Tare kept to the same melody (albeit with minor nuances from performance to performance). You might not consider the note-progressions to be particularly appealing or catchy but still, there's definitely a melody. Like I said above, I'm holding out on listening to this studio version but the bootlegs give one the impression that this track follows the formula of their Strawberry Jam-era by emphasizing emotion & viscera rather than hooks. That isn't to say that there's aren't hooks to be found in the song but they're not as inspired or apparent as the material from the MPP-era. I love their new sound but I can't help but worry about what casual listeners or even critics are going to think of the less pleasant songwriting of this upcoming record.
You had me worried for a moment (I'm holding off on listening to this until the full album is available) but judging by your comment-history, your diss could have been handed down to just about any artist. XD
Oh shit, I wrote the word 'cross' twice. Why can't we delete comments here? :(
Reminds me a bit of James Chance, though harder rocking. Like a cross between the Raincoats crossed with early Elvis Costello. Love it!
