Well these last few weeks I got myself some new items that I think are pretty cool:
Ben Frost - Theory of Machines
Luke Vibert - Chicago, Detroit, Redruth
Otto Von Schirach - 8000 BC
Circle - Panic
Circle - Arkades (CD version!)
Ölvis - The Blue Sound
Circle - Guillotine
Shora - Malval
Triosk - The Headlight Serenade
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
And by the way I saw Animal Collective live yesterday here in Montreal, and it was an amazing experience, very powerful and emotional. Anyone familiar with this particular band has to know that they really have drastically changed over the past two years. I had heard they were heading for a more poppy direction, but how wrong. The concert began with what I would call some massively ambient psy-trance beat with both Panda Bear and Avey Tarey doing their psychedelic singing duos, while Geologist kept feeding the whole sound with his deep drones and subteranean rumbles. No bass guitar at all, guitar on only a few tracks, and everything else was totally electronic, whish-woosh-wash-like-ambient with two challenging vocalists creating weird harmonies. I was especially psyched about the techno shit these guys were getting into. It was mad I should say
They're touring the USoA right now so go out and please enjoy!
