Please keep in mind that this is a collective, not a band. The players can come and go as they choose. And this fluidity definitely translates into their sound. The four founding fathers (Panda Bear, Avey Tare, Geologist and Deakin) have managed to create some of the most unique tracks over the past few years. [...]

Saturday, July 16: The Black Angels , Davila 666 , Titus Andronicus , Oberhofer , Eleanor Friedburger [...]
The long days of what has been a brutally hot and humid summer for many areas of the United States, Europe and Russia are beginning to wane as August tips towards September. Millions of kids are going back to school, people are returning from vacations, and millions more are hoping that the autumn brings more [...] Related posts:Summer 2010 Mixtape, Vol. V: Wavves, Band of Skulls, The Cars, Cold War Kids, Roxy Music, Glasvegas, The Decemberists, Modest Mouse Summer 2010 Mixtape, Vol. II: Animal Collective, The Drums, Jay-Z, Magic Kids, The Flaming Lips, Spoon, LCD Soundsystem, Radio Dept.Vol [...]

Dear Frontier Psychiatrist, I have been told that indie rock reinforces low mood. Is this true? And, if so, what should I listen to for inspiration? Indie-pression Dear Indie, Whether it be ice cream, alcohol, or anti-depressants, the man is always telling you that things designed to make you feel good are actually bad for you. Indie music is no exception. In fairness, there is plenty of indie music that might turn a melancholy man downright lachrymose. For example, you'd be forgiven for wanting to skip the circus [...]

If you also live up here in New England, you know we've been getting shafted royally by Mother Nature. Seriously, is that bitch on a perma-period? We here in Massachusetts set a record for the month of March with 14 inches of rain. To put that in perspective, the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico gets 14 inches all year long. Not the best example, maybe, since that's in a pretty dry climate, but who cares. I tried. I'm nerdy. Anyhow, I am like so many others up here that are truly sick of rainy, cold weather. [...]
An AC/Danny Perez co-production, just to give you a taste of what you're in for. Oh yes. Animal Collective, partnering with longtime visual-arts cohort Danny Perez for a one-night-only deal Thu... Continue reading "Look Out: Animal Collective Taking Over The Guggenheim" >
2009 var et fantastisk musikår med utallige af nye fantastiske, spændende og udfordrende udgivelser. Ingen undskyldninger herfra, jeg har suget til mig af ny musik, og da jeg skulle udforme min liste viste min 2009 short-list at små 90 nye udgivelser har fundet vej ind i musiksamlingen i år. 01. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion Året var ikke ret gammelt før Animal Collective satte overlæggeren ualmindeligt højt, det underlige blev til pop og AC fik nærmest et kommercielt gennembrud. Sluttede så lige året af med at smide EPen "Fall Be Kind" med [...]

Eccoci all'ultima puntata di " So 00's " la rubrica dedicata agli album più importanti dell'ultimo decennio. Non è facile scegliere già ora un'album del 2009, non tanto perchè deve ancora terminare (considerato che ormai i giochi sono fatti) ma perchè sono convinto che solo con il tempo si riesce realmente a capire il vero valore di un'album sotto ogni aspetto. Nel 2009 abbiamo avuto diversi ottimi dischi: Mastodon , Isis , Patrick Wolf , Bat For Lashes , The Horrors , solo per citare i primi che mi vengono in mente sul [...]

Continuing the countdown of my Top Ten Must-See Lollapalooza Acts we take a look at the legendary Lou Reed . #2: Lou Reed The fantastically fascinating Lou Reed started his historic music career with The Velvet Underground with their 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico , which by now is well-established as one of the most, if not the most, important record in the history of alternative music. Three studio albums later, The Velvet Underground disbarred with Reed turning his [...]

All I have to say is WTF?! (Both angrily and figuratively) Check out the music video: I really don't have much to say other then the aforementioned, WTF! So here are my jotted notes on this video: The Siamese twin ice sculpture: are they dancing around it like it's a godly idol? The sculpture also looks like it's doing the Tango. The Bubble women: are they in wombs? The veins make it seem like a placenta. The two dancers in the weird costumes are totally having sex to [...]
New Album Leaf Preview The above video is Jimmy Lavalle ( The Album Leaf ) mixing his new album in Iceland. I am super psyched about this especially after seeing him perform some new tunes this year at the Bottom of the Hill. The Album Leaf - Airplane Fever Ray - Triangle Walks No shortage of creepy with Fever Ray's third video for 'Triangle Walks' off [...]
Com os 36 graus, ou 37 (quem dá mais), há que pensar em roupas de Verão. Os Animal Collective ajudam, com o novo vídeo do single "Summertime Clothes" (do último "Merriweather Post Pavilion"), realizado e editado por Danny Perez e com umas perninhas de dança do grupo de dança, de Brooklyn, FLEX.

Animal Collective's second video from their fantastic album, Merriweather Post Pavillion . They have a knack for strange, nearly disturbing videos and "Summertime Clothes" is no different. I don't know exactly what's going on, there's some people dancing, a melting ice sculpture of deformed children, and some lighting which would give a epileptic a night in the hospital, love it.
Video: Animal Collective - "Summertime Clothes" Animal Collective's new video for "Summertime Clothes" features the same freaky dancers that scared David Letterman last month. Directed by Danny Perez. Animal Collective: iTunes, Amazon, Insound, wiki....
