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 [...]

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, [...]

Os Daft Punk continuam a revelar vídeos da série The Collaborators e desta vez o entrevistado é Panda Bear, dos Animal Collective . Noah Lennox empresta a sua voz à faixa "Doin' It Right", a penúltima de Random Access Memories , para a qual também terá criado a linha de bateria. Aqui, o lisboeta por opção, comenta o talento dos Daft Punk para produzir ritmos e sons que tocam profundamente quem os ouve, o uso de um véu de anonimato pelos Animal Collective, para deixar claro que o que importa é a arte, [...]

I'm pretty excited about this upcoming Daft Punk disc after having heard the line-up of collaborators ( Julian Casablancas , Chilly Gonzales , Panda Bear , et al.) and this snippet of Pharrell's addition to the mix. Not anything terribly brave or new, but my god is it goddamn catchy when Pharrell repeats, "we're up all night to get lucky." Enjoy.

Its crazy to think that its been 8 years since Daft Punk has released an album, this being 20052s "Human After All". Although its been that long, their music is still without a doubt relevant, and extremely popular. Now personally, I'm not usually one for electronic or dance music, but there's always been something about Daft Punk that has tickled my fancy. Its more than electronic dance music, it's got soul and funk, which truly separates Daft Punk from most electronic music. A few months ago it was announced that the French duo would be releasing [...]
Whether organic electronica or electronic organica, there's much fruitful hybridity bubbling about at the minute and whether Brad Weber's Pick a Piper or James Cooley's Mesita , it's by and large bloody invigorating stuff. Kingston, the first I've personally heard of Colorado native Cooley and his first in a few months makes for an almost unfeasibly accomplished introduction and as he initially chimes of feeling bitter; distant; vacant in an impeccable croon not dissimilar to that of a given Justin Vernon, he pretty incontrovertibly gets off on the right foot. Though it's once his musical proficiency is [...]

WARNING: The following news may cause sudden fainting spells and/or extreme hyperventilation, please take a deep breath before continuing on. The legendary Daft Punk have finally announced the long-awaited follow-up to 20102s "Tron: Legacy Soundtrack", a 13-track, full-length LP entitled "Random Access Memories." It's out May 21st via Daft Life Ltd., an imprint of Columbia Records . Head on over to iTunes now to pre-order this bad boy. P.S. no tracklist info is available at the moment, however, previous reports indicate that Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers and Animal Collective 's Panda Bear may appear on the [...]
I fondly look back upon the gloopy, expressively organic electronica of earlier AnCo recordings – that which sticks it all together. The Feels , and the Strawberry Jam of their discography and in turn everything external to it – everything these albums have subsequently inspired. Whether that be BRAIDS, or the exhilarating lifework of Canarian Pablo Díaz-Reixa or whoever else, its impact is always extraordinarily immediate. And so we come to London-based, though Lecce-born Antonio Elia Forte, who masquerades musically as Echopark . And perhaps rather inevitably, we find ourselves lost in the perfectly woozy imperfections of Teleportation. A dew-laced soundscape [...]

No dia 26 de fevereiro o site oficial do Daft Punk foi atualizado com uma imagem juntamente com o logo da Columbia Records, confirmando os rumores de que teriam assinado um contrato com a gravadora, deixando a Virgin/EMI, com quem tinham gravado seus três primeiros discos. E desde então começaram a surgir detalhes sobre o esperado quarto álbum de estúdio de Thomas Bangalter e Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo , segundo o jornal britânico The Guardian o lançamento do sucessor de Human After All (2005), pode acontecer [...]

After a long history of releasing some of the most influential electronic records on Virgin/EMI, Daft Punk has moved to the Columbia family to release their fourth studio album this spring. Collaborations for the currently untitled album are reported to include Chic's Nile Rodgers , Giorgio Moroder, Animal Collective’s Panda Bear , Feist collaborator Chilly Gonzales , and Paul Williams. We were all disappointed to see that Daft Punk would not be joining the stellar Coachella lineup and to hear [...]
How many end of year LP lists have you already trawled thus far this still quite active 2012? Too many, is most likely the answer there. Though one omitted by many, if not most this way came just last month, unleashed from Animal Collective's Paw Tracks in the amorphous form of Prince Rama's Top 10 Hits Of The End Of The World . A fairly radical (to be read rad ) conceptualisation of a post-apocalypse pop chart on which Brooklyn-based sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson set about channelling [...]
Bringing complicated music from the studio up on stage has never been easy. Some bands don’t even tour because they just can’t realize their studio visions in public, often due to lack of the right technology. The right technology was also the only thing missing in a – apart from that – indeed sensational concert [...]

And so the weekend ends where it once began . All Friday early eve optimism exchanged for that dull numb Sunday and its ensuing imminent-return-to-mundanity vibe signals, we've some supernal entity to thank for Animal Collective being about these European longitudes and latitudes right around now. Spiritually, we're back in Baltimore although impatiently awaiting beneath a set of inflatable dentures, it almost feels like a 'Stones show is upon us. No such unluck. Mick & co. could no longer comport themselves as do Paw Tracks duo Prince Rama [...]
