Brace yourself for our second gushing Light in the Attic post of the week: the label has announced the first vinyl reissue of our favorite hip-hop record ever , Digable Planets ' still somewhat under-appreciated, ahead-of-its-time 1994 classic, Blowout Comb . The limited edition first pressing of the reissue comes with an embossed cover and 183 × 243 fold-out poster, with the first 150 pre-orders pressed on white wax . If you're at all into the stuff Ish is doing now with Shabazz Palaces , or you [...]
Today we flash back on another of our favourite labels: SUB POP RECORDS . They're responsible for the careers of a diverse range of bands, from Nirvana to Dum Dum Girls to our very own Husky . And they're celebrating 25 years in the business on July 13. That means that they've been around since 1988. Before that founder Bruce Pavitt started a fanzine called Subterranean Pop about American independent artists and their labels. He started releasing compilations [...]
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 [...]
The Black Constellation collective have shared a new minifilm, "(Sparkles)...Recollections of the Wraith", featuring the music of Shabazz Palaces. The film is part of a thirteen part adornment, performance and object based ritual...
Shot by members of The Black Constellation, this marvelous, visionary short film (Sparkles) ... Recollections Of The Wraith uses two tracks from Shabazz Palaces to offset the wondrous visionary spectacle. The short film is the 12th part in the group's homage to award-winning science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler, who died in 2006. The group used the enthralling, deeply naturalistic locations of Washington state's Methow Valley, the Cascade foothills, and the town of Carnation (which has the Tolt-MacDonald Park and Campground). Watch it below.
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).
An absolutely gorgeous short film collaboration from the members of the mighty Black Constellation . Shot on location in the Methow Valley, Cascade foothills and Carnation, Washington. [read more about the film + words from the Palaceer at the believer ]

On Friday, April 26th, Seattle (and Sub Pop Records) acts Shabazz Palaces and THEESatisfaction performed at Bowery Ballroom in New York, NY. There was an opening set by Malitia Malimob, a Seattle hip-hop group with members originally from Somalia. See more images from this post.
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
photo by Jim Bennett Macklemore & Ryan Lewis made an appearance on The Colbert Report last night to play "Same Love" and also dish on various questions about their independent release of The Heist , the music biz, fame, and how hip-hop is evolving from its misogynistic and homophobic past. Colbert asks the poignant question "Old rap people say things like 'F*** the police!' What do you want to do to the police?". Watch the clip to find out. And look for an online exclusive [...]

Animal Collective are dropping a remix EP called Monkey Been to Burn Town later this month, featuring updates on the Centipede Hz track "Monkey Riches" by Gang Gang Dance , Traxman , and Teengirl Fantasy , and this remix/cover/extraterrestrial interpretation of "New Town Burnout" by Shabazz Palaces . It's an incredible version, pushing eight minutes of seething drones, otherworldly synth and bass sounds, and cryptic, brilliant verses from Shabazz mastermind Ishmael Butler . The rest of the EP is out May 28, though we're unsure how anyone is going [...]
In the "connections we should have made a long time ago" column, the outer-orbit funk of Shabazz Palaces and the bulbous alien electronics of Animal Collective are a match made in outer space. The two pair up for a remix of the AnCo song "New Town Burnout", one of four-songs on the band's forthcoming remix EP, Monkey Been To Burn Town , that also features remixes by Gang Gang Dance, Teengirl Fantasy, and Chicago Juke producer Traxman . Listen to MC Palaceer Lazero sneak a 16-bar verse into the sinews [...]

Hasta hace unos días era una persona feliz, transtornada, pero feliz. En un abrir y cerrar de ojos todo eso cambio, y ahora estoy atorado en un sin fin de pensamientos que me complican la existencia conforme van pasando las horas.

Teengirl Fantasy , Traxman, y el remix [...]
