Animal Collective - Honeycomb

Well, it seems like it’s been a minute since Animal Colelctive was on my radar, and that’s kinda sad,……….. buttttt happy, happy! They’re back where they belong, making amazingness like this!

Just after a few listens, I can tell this will probably end up as one of my all time favorites. Love it. Summery. Fresh, with some kind of crazy Afrikan sound going on. Did I mention that I loved it?

Animal Collective are back with a new 7inch single titled ‘Honeycomb / Gotham’ featuring two brand new songs.

The ‘Honeycomb / Gotham’ physical 7inch is available to pre-order now on the Domino Store with instant MP3 gratification of both tracks. Pre-order at http://www.dominorecordco.com/honeycomb.

The Barr Brothers - Beggar In The Morning(Live On Letterman)

I actually prefer the official video for this song, but I’m posting the live one above so that you can see some of the crazy use of instruments,….and feck, do I love harmonica. :)

Oh, and they have a harp in the band. How cool is that?

“She said, hello I’m a monster too, and

what poisons me, is what poisons you…

Into these animals we grew, well

when we were young, our eyes were blue….”

Mp3: The Barr Brothers - Beggar In The Morning

So, so good.

I still can not get enough of this song.

Wreckless Eric - Whole Wide World

The very first time I saw this movie(which is great by the way) and heard this song, I actually took out my cell phone and made a note : Download the song off of Stranger Than Fiction, Fucking Awesome. I was a little drunk, but damn. I still love it.

Beach House -Equal Mind

This was taken from the B- side of the  7” split released on Record Store Day, and supposedly will NOT be on the new album, Bloom (due out 5/15). Knowing they are leaving songs as quality as this off the new album, makes me all the more excited to hear it. Also, I really like how they seem to be sticking to a winning formula instead of overly experimenting.

Fanfarlo - A Flood

Hey, did you know the new Fanfarlo album was out? I kinda forgot this was coming out and then got it yesterday, and have given it at least 4 or 5 plays since then.

The track, A Flood, is by far my favorite, but I can tell this whole album, Rooms Filled With Light, will be getting a lot of play over the summer. Filled with lush, loud instrumentation, and vocals slightly reminiscent of Beirut’s Zach Condon, Fanfarlo openly soars back with a truly beautiful album.

:p

The Shins - The Rifles Spiral (Official Video)

This is one of said videos that I love,…the animation reminds me of that movie Coraline, have you seen that? It’s crazy and a little creepy for a cartoon, but in a good way.

….and of course there is the Shins, and that new album, and this song, and yeah. Awesomeness.

Enjoy.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich - Ticket To Ride(Beatles Cover)

Perfect for an afternoon like this. Chill and acoustic. The Beatles are a tough band to cover(even though just about everyone and their mom attempt) but Leftwich nails it.
