OK, the video for Animal Collective’s latest single is far from new (almost a month old), but I just barely got around seeing it. Give me a slack. Anyway, I really love the vibe of the video, even though there’s nothing, at first glance, that makes the connection between the cartoony, acid trip animations and the song itself. Beats me. As long as I’m having fun with it, I don’t mind. Off the recently released…
It’s been a while since we’ve written a NMM post, mainly because the end and beginning of December, respectively January, have always been very blunt and poor in terms of releases. Things are shaping up again though, and this week we’ve got a few interesting artists, with some equally interesting new material. First up are the more or less justly hyped Animal Collective and their latest record, Merryweather Post Pavilion, that finally gets officially releases…
If you still hadn’t had enough of these furry, but talented animals, here’s another MP3 involving January favorites – Animal Collective. This time AC are handling remix duties, as the band (actually, just Deakin from what I’ve heard) takes a go at Ratatat’s eclectic single, “Mirando.” The outcome is a 10 minute epic, packed with soothing synths and uh-ahs. If you’re interested in getting the 12″, XL will soon release Mirando + the AC remix…
Artist name: Animal Collective Album name: Merryweather Post Pavilion Label: Domino Records Gender: Experimental Rock/Psychedelic Pop Release date: January 6, 2008 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: www.myanimalhome.net There’s something just special about Animal Collective, that always resonates in their wacky, space-out music. I always like to think of them as modern day Peter Pans, a trio of grown up men forever trapped in childhood’s magical grasp. I just love it how they transmit this feeling in their…
I can haz some furry new animal stufz? Yes, you can haz, but sadly all of us will have to wait until the beginning of ’09, before any of us can spin the new Animal Collective record, Merryweather Post. A while ago, some lucky chaps had the chance to take part in a label, invite-only listening part, where they sampled the new AC record. As expected it rocked and must of them hailed “Brothersport” as…
As expected, Animal Collective is indeed rolling out a new album in January, in the form of the upcoming Merryweather Post Pavilion via Domino Records. The news that the follow-up to last year’s fabulous Strawberry Jam will be available starting from January 29th on CD, double LP, and digital formats, came the other day with the press release we received. If you’re curious about the recording process, it took place in Oxford, Mississippi’s Sweet Tea…
Last year’s Strawberry Jam was definitely yummy! Quite scrumcious, if I may do so say myself. Actually, last year was an awesome one for the AC band members, since they toured a lot, released a very well received album, while Panda Bear also released a solo record of his own, the critically acclaimed Person Pitch. Let’s not forget about the new EP, Water Curses, Animal Collective rolled out back in May ’08. Now, these crazy…
As previously reported just a few hours ago, Sigur Ros has released a free mp3 with the their latest single “Gobbledigook,” an upbeat, fascinating rocker off the band’s latest, upcoming album “með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust” (translated the title means “with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly”). The song sounds pretty awesome, being a mixture between Animal Collective and Dave Matthews, with haunting tribal beats, pastoral acoustic guitars and wonderful Jonsi…
Boy does time fly, we just can’t believe it how this year went by so fast, well ZME Music’s been around for only 6 months, but that’s not important. Actually this year was so busy, that we hardly could face the large amounts of new releases every week, especially in the summer time and believe us we don’t complain. Due to this, 2007, was the year in which new music was making it’s comeback; we’ve…
Sometime earlier this morning, the zoological quartet of [tag]Animal Collective[/tag], stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Rob Da Bank show and were gracious enough to play a few songs live for the show. Not only that, but they played a two new songs as well! Besides the fan favorite “Doggy” from Campire Songs and the psychedelic “Hey Light,” from Here Comes The Indian, the band also premiered two never before heard tracks as well. These are…
