Animal Collective - What Would I Want? Sky There’s an ocean floor quality to Sky ; that blurry drama, the blue, the sway - and the expectant listener, too, waiting for emotive explosives. It’s the Collective outdoing their previous best. Its birth breathing “good deeds” and its death longing for an answer and response to the question “What would I want? Sky”, both in mantra swing. Avey Tare wants, for brief moments if allowed, the release from thought and the carried rest of God’s arms. It’s to be withdrawn from the not-knowing and the out-of-control [...]

Here are my favourite songs of 2009. I seriously could have went into the hundreds on this one but I seriously cannot be holed. Besides this top 20 took me fecking ages. Enjoy! 20. Major Lazer - Pon De Floor To me this song sounds like it should be released in 2015, it's THAT ahead of its time. As it is, it ended up sending dancefloors into chaotic frenzies whenever it was played in 2009. Listen: [...]

Animal Collective - "What Would I Want? Sky" from the 2009 Fall Be Kind EP on Domino Records.

Turns out I didn't listen to much music while I was on my travels aside from the occasional Thai cover band rocking a serious Taylor Swift cover. But the first thing that awaited me upon my return was a shiny new copy of Animal Collective's Fall Be Kind EP . (Many thanks to my friends at Motormouth Media.) I seem to be on a serious AnCo binge as of late as I consider whether or not to make a year-end list and if so, will this list include Merriweather Post Pavilion ? As I mentioned before, [...]
Let's just say Ireland was like rehab. A recovery period. Quiet. Peaceful. Not much temptation. Not much to do. Few distractions. Normality. Regular way of life. Now let's just say L.A is the complete opposite. Beyond belief the complete opposite. I think the mistake I made initially was coming straight back into the bizarre but [...]

words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise Let's cut the clichéd expressions some slack. There are very few times when you can bring out the " ...and look at you now! ", pre/post-makeover shot from not-much-of-a-looker to hubba-hubba-God-bless-Rimmel-L ondon, but now's one of them. Animal Collective started 2009 as a cult band, celebrated by the majority of their listeners who knew their beloved were on the fringe of something much greater. And alas, here they are now, rounding off a year of critical acclaim and tolerance of the word "hype", certified as a band who polarize [...]
