Glow Marrow // Broadheart EP There’s no denying that Animal Collective has had a huge influence on the independent music scene, especially in recent years. Just like any other influential band, the groups that look to them for inspiration can either be derivative and fail to make a mark, or they can use that influence to guide them as they carve out their own sound. Glow Marrow is most definitely a band that fits into the latter category. These dudes are a Los Angeles band whose expertly crafted pop music [...]
I enjoy Animal Collective as much as the next guy, which is why I'm baffled by this album failing to translate in any sort of major enjoyment to me. I have to admit I kind of saw this coming, though. Many of these tracks were released on singles before the album release, and I only enjoyed a few of them. However, I have to admit that the sonice qualities of these tracks really do come together into a cohesive direction on the LP. Everything works together as one. The album is basically voltron, and the singles were merely [...]

Noah Lennox. Panda Bear. Tomboy. Разом. Целиком. Удивительно, да? Больше года выходили синглы — You Can Count on Me, Tomboy, Surfers Hymn и умопомрачител ьная Last Night at the Jetty, концертные записи и неальбомный материал. Наше ожидание оправдалось. Мой совет — держите эту ссылку , добавляйте её в закладки, записывайте на листочек и прячьте под подушку, скидывайте друзьям и никуда не отпускайте. Даже если с первого раза не зайдёт, даже если сначала не выработаются рецепторы, чтобы дослушать до конца. Это именно та пластинка, которую не удалишь с плеера, даже когда все итоги года будут подведены. Очень личная, светлая и захватывающая вещь. Оставлю свою любимую песню — студийную версию Last [...]

Di sicuro quello di Noah Lennox, musicalmente conosciuto come Panda Bear , è uno degli album indie più attesi del 2011 vuoi per il ruolo centrale che Lennox ha con gli Animal Collective, vuoi perché più volte l'uscita del secondo album solista è stata posticipata facendo alzare la curiosità. "Tomboy" uscirà definitivamente il 12 aprile per l'etichetta indipendente Paw Tracks , così come il precedente album "Person Pitch". Già da oggi però lo potete ascoltare per intero in streaming gratuito sul sito della NPR : 10 canzoni di pop psychedelico mixate da Sonic Boom, storico [...]

![[Listen] – New Album By Panda Bear – “TOMBOY”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3334869_lg.jpg)
It's almost a week until Panda Bear 's Paw Tracks release "TOMBOY" , the follow-up to the 2007 masterpiece "Person Pitch", drops and in usual fashion, NPR have an exclusive stream of the entire album for the whole week. In their words "it's great" and after a making my way through a couple of songs it's definitely what you'd expect from Noah Lennox, otherwise known as six halves of Animal Collective , but so far it's a little flat and reminding me of Avey Tare 's attempt last year that failed miserably. It's close [...]
Actress is quite possibly the perfect person to remix a Panda Bear song, as he's able to keep things organic while still adding a propulsive dance thump. More importantly, we're still listening to Tomboy every ... read more

Chissà secondo quale scelta di marketing mirato i produttori di scarpe vanno a pescare nel mondo della musica: prima vi abbiamo parlato dell'incontro fra Adidas e i Justice , stavolta invece di quello fra Keep , brand di scarpe made in U.S.A., e gli Animal Collective . La band americana infatti ha progettato un paio di scarpe che fa parte della nuova collezione del marchio che sarà disponibile a partire dal 26 di marzo sul sito www.keepcompany.com . Ma visto che si tratta pure sempre di una band, e non di semplici stilisti, chiunque [...]
The plan leading up to the release of Panda Bear's Tomboy was to put out a series of singles on different labels. So far, that shit is selling out in like two seconds everywhere at all times and we're all sitting here listening to the full length on constant repeat, letting it slowly change [...]

Image: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - 1884 by Georges Seurat. Sjalom all! I'm in quite a relaxed mood today, therefore don't expect to find any uplifting, in your face, "omg too much bass" material in this post. Instead, sit back, relax and enjoy the following beauties. First up, a new Goran Tech production called "One Way EP" which is already his 5th release on Artefact records. The track you can find below is called Space hero , in my opinion the coolest [...]

C'è un disco e un artista nell'area della musica indiependente americana di cui si parla da anni e su cui, puntualmente, partono smentite, inversioni di marcia e ritrattazioni varie. Si tratta di "Tomboy" il nuovo disco di Noah Lennox, musicalmente conosciuto come Panda Bear , parte degli Animal Collective. Il seguito del fortunato primo lavoro, "Person Pitch" uscito nel 2007, doveva vedere la luce alla fine del 2010 dopo che a metà di luglio era uscito l'omonimo singolo per l'etichetta indipendente di Washington DC Paw Tracks . Poi lo stesso Lennox ha rimandato l'uscita annunciando anche [...]
Having heard Panda Bear's Tomboy we can safely say that it is going to CHANGE ALL OUR LIVES. Call us on hyperbole if you want, but it's a legitimately emotion shifting record that genuinely colors our day in a distinct BEFORE WE LISTENED TO THE RECORD FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME and AFTER WE LISTENED....It's happening [...]
Really truly listening to an album can be difficult task to undertake. Do you play it repeatedly for a week straight? Only listen in the car? Skip tracks constantly? Pick it up again six months later to reevaluate? I don’t know the answers, but I do know that perhaps the best way to really get to know that album happens when you ever-so-peacefully drift off to sleep during a gentle lulling song about fireflies, and then sit bolt upright as if awoken from the grave to chaotic unrestrained noise: “HOLY SHIT, WHAT IS HAPPENING? WHERE AM I? WHAT [...]

Click image to download full album Sounds like: Captain Beefheart, Animal Collective, Pattern Is Movement, The Fiery Furnaces "Deerhoof - I Did Crimes For You" What's so good? Deerhoof's twelfth full-length album, Deerhoof vs. Evil (released January 25), has achieved the perfect balancing act between obscure, off-kilter volatility, infectiously catch, and melodically beautiful exuberance. To top it off, it was all recorded in the band members' basements sans engineers. No need to worry though, Deerhoof hasn't lost [...]

Since their rise to fame with albums like Strawberry Jam and Merriweather Post Pavilion, Animal Collective has had a lot of copycats following in their paw tracks. However, it was only a matter of time before one of 'em started doing a pretty good job. When it comes to psychedelic swirls of sound, odd rhythms, and never-ending loops, the band Hear Hums seem to have have it all down. Dig on a track from their new album, Psyche Circles , below. You can stream the whole LP on [...]
