Mushpot Records just sent me a tasty little tune from Chicago’s Yawn, off their self-released Yawn EP. Great song, great EP. If you like Panda Bear, Animal Collective, & the like, you’ll really dig these guys! |

This new EP, Fall Be Kind from Animal Collective is fantastic. I don’t know how to not love this band. My favorite part about Animal Collective is that they make you work for it. Most pop artists come out of the gates with their best hooks and their most catchy lines. That is fun but you lose interest quickly. Animal Collective buries the sugary pop goodness beneath reverb drenched samples and huge drum beats. With the track “What I would Want? Sky” there is about a 3 minute intro where you are hearing ambient noise and big drums… something is happening… tension is building… the song goes quiet… then you hear it… “…Sky… what would I want… sky… what would I want…sky… You immediately have a smile on your face as the guys in Animal Collective sing in rounds and harmonies reminiscent of the 60’s pop we wish we had all been a part of. I know I am a sucker for this, but this song really made my day, and I hope it makes yours too. Enjoy! |

Phoenix is releasing a collection of “Wolfgang Amadeus” remixes by such artists as YACHT, Chairlift, Passion Pit, Friendly Fires and much, much, more. Here’s Animal Collective’s, or I should say Deakin’s, remix of “Love Like A Sunset”. The collection is set to release digitally on Glassnote Records October 13th. |

Animal Collective is probably one of the most remixed and covered groups around right now, and the countless remix attempts that have surfaced lately were starting to lose their touch on me. That is of course until I heard Victoria Bergsman’s (aka Taken by Trees) tropical folk take on Merriweather’s “My Girls”. Take a listen: |

First off, I have to apologize for not being able to post. I just moved to our nation’s capital for Grad School. Hopefully you will be getting many DC/East coast related posts. This is a short post (more will come later) but it goes out to all of those students who are starting classes and getting that angsty/excited feeling about school. A little AC and a little K-West for ya… enjoy! |

Check out Andrew Jernigan aka Phaseone’s new record Thanks But No Thanks. |

| Phaseone has been causing a fuss via the tubes of the internet with remixes of indie artists such as Animal Collective and Panda Bear. (Check out the Animal Collective “Daily Routine” remix below) I scored the new album from a great blog Porch of the Mystics. You can zip the file there. If you are into transy big beat electro pop, this record is for you. I pulled one of my favorites from the record. The intro sounds like the alarm noise when you are in danger on Starfox… how cool is that? | |
