VIDEO: Animal Collective "Brother Sport" (Live in Lyon, France)

This is a new-ish song that AC played live on their last tour. It's not going to be on the new EP, "Water Curses" (out May 6 via Domino Records), so maybe we can expect to see it on their next full-length.

Just in case you haven't heard it yet, I'm posting the title track from the new EP below as well. I fuckin' love Animal Collective.

Animal Collective: LIVE MP3s, 9/26/07, Variety Playhouse, Atlanta, GA

First off let me say that last night's Animal Collective show was killer. Bradford from Deerhunter thought so too. People must really be catching onto AC, because last night's show was sold-out. I was really surprised how many people were there, not that they aren't deserving of the attention, but most people's taste usually sucks...so kudos to those came last night to see one of the best bands around. One of my friends sent me a recording of last night's show, but I have no idea who recorded it (I like to give credit where it's due, but I just don't have a name..sorry). Likewise, the above photo is not mine. It was found on this here Flickr page (BTW if you don't want me to use your photo just let me know).

HERE ARE A FEW MP3s FROM LAST NIGHT'S SET, ENJOY!!

Panda Bear "Person Pitch" receives 9.4!!!

So Pitchfork gave Panda Bear "Person Pitch" a very well deserved rating of 9.4. Panda Bear (and his other Animal pals...including Grizzly Bear ;-) ) has been one of the few artists trying and succeeding at pushing musical boundaries. And like anything by fellow boundary-pushers Radiohead, this album just keeps getting better & better. I can't say for sure if this will be my album of the year, but it's shaping up that way so far. I can't recommend this album enough.

Buy "Person Pitch" at Insound or at Criminal Records.
