Animal Collective’s most recent LP, Centipede HZ , was released in 2012 to mixed reviews. For many AC fans and critics alike (this one included), it took some time for the album to “click.” Was it as instantly alluring as its stellar predecessor, 2009‘s brilliant breakthrough Merriweather Post Pavilion ? Not quite, although to be fair, it never really tried to be. Eventually, Centipede HZ served up its own distinct moments of greatness, no matter how long it took to parse them all out. Now, several months [...]
“Out of my body, out of my mind,” echoes Shabazz Palaces' Ishmael Butler over the duo’s remix of Animal Collective' s “New Town Burnout”. In eight short words, Butler epitomizes the effect of an AnCo listening experience - an experience amplified here by the broken sci-fi score of Shabazz beatsmith Tendai Maraire. Originally an instrumental produced by Panda Bear at the tail end of his Tomboy recording process, “New Town Burnout” made its way to 2012’s Centipede HZ as a straightforward (for AnCo) psych-pop burner. Shabazz Palaces have taken [...]

One of the standout tracks from Animal Collective's upcoming Monkey Been To Burn Town (can't get enough of that title) remix EP comes from West coast avant-garde rapper group Shabazz Palaces . The twisted take on Centipede Hz track " New Town Burnout " comes with distant aural spacing and free-falling verses from Ishmael Butler, turning it into a deconstructed eight-minute burner. Monkey Been To Burn Town , which also features remixes from Gang Gang Dance member Brian DeGraw, Teengirl Fantasy , and Tha Traxman [...]
Animal Collective 's new Monkey Been to Burn Town remix EP is out later this month on Domino , featuring new re-imaginations from Gang Gang Dance, Teengirl Fantasy, Traxman , and most importantly, as far as we're concerned, this towering, dystopian monolith of a remix by the great Shabazz Palaces , who deconstruct Centipede Hz standout " New Town Burnout " and send its remnants hurtling into space. There's also a brilliant encrypted verse from the Palaceer, [...]

Featuring snaps of Killer Mike's doughy vocal scattered among [...]

The NYC-based indie label True Panther Sounds (home to electronic acts Delorean, Lemonade, and Teengirl Fantasy as well as indie rock staples Girls & King Krule ) recently announced the signing of Bristol's resident dream-house producer Hyetal in conjunction with the release of the first single from his sophomore record "Modern Worship". "Northwest Passage (feat. Gwilym Gold )" is a mesmerizing composition of the gauzy synths, pounding drum patterns and ethereal vocals that litter Hyetal 's fantastic 2011 debut "Broadcast." You may also sense a hint of Julio Bashmore's influence as the fellow Bristol producers recently hooked up for [...]
Right on schedule, Red Bull Music Academy 's next HASHTAG$ episode arrives and, sadly enough, this is the final entry in the series. My tears aside, the final clip centers on the so-called #BlogPop scene driven by genre-bending artists like AlunaGeorge , Charli XCX , Teengirl Fantasy , and the like. It further highlights just how much the Internet has changed things in the music industry, especially over the past few years with those aforementioned pop acts gaining serious followings with little more than some social media accounts and killer tunes. You can [...]
This is what our pop culture media hubs gave us this week: Keeping fans on "A Tattered Line of String" for the new Postal Service single, we watched the wrestling antics of the much hyped Tyler, the Creator single "Domo 23", Passion Pit got "Carried Away", ignored Bieber v. Black Keys beefs, and feigned excitement for Lana Del Rey's "Burning Desire" toward car commercial pop commodities. Believe the hype if you want to, but we got a whole week for you ...
