Random Access Memories has been echoing in the metallic domes of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo since their work on 20082s Tron: Legacy soundtrack. The sheer number of collaborations on RAM , including noted movie composers Paul Williams and Giorgio Moroder, finds Daft Punk building upon their new-flesh narrative, adding to their storied, cinematic mythos of the diminishing boundary between computers and people. What sort of film is this? Bangalter has shared that the band is “[D]rawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive – the random way that memories are stored.” This tale of robots [...]
![[Hype Hype Hooray] My Music Makes Me Live](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4956671_lg.jpg)
Hype Hype Hooray is a biweekly “critique” of the music scene and the blogosphere that feeds it, told through the lens of Jamie Hale, a journalist who likes music about as much as he likes scotch and a firm leather chair. Please enjoy with a grain of salt. I drive 68 miles an hour down I-205 outside Portland. It's 11 p.m. and my mind is racing. Dim orange highway lights creep through a haze of dense fog. Hoards of insanities enter and exit my brain at breakneck pace. They are a mass of random associations, phrases [...]

I was in Tunisia last week. I was sat on the balcony of our hotel room on the sixth floor, watching the swallows swoop and pink tourists, strapped to the back of speedboats with parachutes, floating. I felt wonderfully isolated. [Right-click and "Download Document" for mp3 of Leaf House by Animal Collective] Apart from a couple of thumping French party tracks with accompanying dance moves (one of them I can only describe ineloquently as "doing a spaz shuffle") and panpipe [...]
Venture my way into the dark where we can sweat. One takes the 128th most acclaimed album by the hand. Animal Collective's indie rock sensation is the focus of this week's Counterbalance. Klinger: Well, Mendelsohn, last week you asked me if the canon was still open, what with the inclusion of slightly more recent records like Radiohead's In Rainbows on the Acclaimed Music aggregate of the greatest albums of all time. Now this week we have Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, an actual, honest to God album that was released not just during this century, but right at the [...]
Leave it up to Animal Collective to rack up one of the most interesting groups of musicians to be featured on their new remix EP Monkey Been to Burn Town set to release on May 28th. The remix album featurres remixes by juke producer Traxman , New York's loopy electro duo Teengirl Fantasy , Seattle based hip-hop collective Shabazz Palaces and last but certainly not least the wacked out but incredibly talented Gang Gang Dance . Gang Gang Dance has been around since 2001 and after a long journey through different musical atmospheres and ideas, the band finally started to [...]

It's becoming increasingly problematic, or so I'm finding at the minute, to come up with any form of track review which neglects to reference the weather and while it's all too easy to earmark certain songs as blithe summertime doozies, it's slightly trickier to tag the stuff of springtime. Nonetheless, that's exactly what we're here presented with as the elate work of defiant 'one man band' Go Exploring trickles down your inner ears. Hailing from 'Somewhere' if his SoundCloud account is to be believed, or New York according to his Bandcamp tags the inscrutable producer has a [...]

A semana passada revelámos a primeira amostra de Monkey Been to Burn Town , EP de remixes que os Animal Collective se preparam para editar, mas já temos pronta uma nova remistura, desta feita dos Shabazz Palace para " New Town Burnout ". O duo de Seattle incorporou o seu hip-hop experimental - que lhes valeu as palmas da crítica e público em 2011, aquando do álbum de estreia - na faixa de Centipede Hz , esculpindo-a com baixos, sintetizadores e as rimas do veterano Ishmael Butler. O resultado ultrapassa em dois minutos [...]

Monkey Been to Burn Town è il nuovo EP di remix degli Animal Collective in uscita a fine mese su Domino - sentite come suonano due brani del loro ultimo album Centipede Hz, dopo esser passati per le mani di Brian DeGraw dei Gang Gang Dance e di Shabazz Palaces:
It’s Friday, which means we are contemplating the weekend ahead and also, as ever, rounding up the best songs we’ve heard this week. This week we continued our burgeoning bromance with Majical Cloudz, reveled in the Suicide-y sounds of the new Dirty Beaches, started crossing fingers that the latest Tricky new dawn won't prove to be a false one, luxuriated in beautiful ambient music from Mark McGuire and Eluvium, done questionable drugs with Pet Shop Boys... and plenty more! You can do all these things, too, for absolutely no money by clicking through, so we suggest you get to it [...]
Centipede Hz standout "New Town Burnout" gets the Shabazz Palaces remix on Animal Collective's Monkey Been to Burn Town EP. The diverse remix collection features reworkings of tracks from Animal Collective's latest LP by Teengirl Fantasy, Gang Gang Dance, and Traxman. I'm partial to this sleek, slinky take on "New Town Burnout," which is really trippy (and that's really saying something when it comes to Animal Collective).
Though Animal Collective have touched on plenty of genres and moods throughout their long, knotty career, it's interesting to note that the darker elements of their sound are rarely brought to the forefront. You could ... read more
