Kick Off the Holiday Week Properly

Animal Collective's new EP, "Fall Be Kind" is set to release officially on December 8th, 2009. That said, we'eve already heard a few fantastic tracks off the album, released as singles or from live playings.

Here's their song, "What Would I Want? Sky" (Rated by pitchfork the rare 10...they do admittedly love their AC over there. Hey, so do we!)

Here we have Animal Collective at their very best, taking trippy percussion/blipping guitars and transforming them into into an indie pop jam with a very distinct AC timing.

Even bigger: The song features a sample from the Grateful Dead's, "Unbroken Chain"...the first ever legally cleared sample from the band EVER.

Cannot wait to pick up this bad boy!

First Track off the New Animal Collective EP Released

Check it out! Press play on the video below to stream, "Graze"...the first song off the new "Fall Be Kind" EP to be released to the public.

It's truly awesome. Listen in it's entirety...the 3:00 mark is Animal Collective at their usual greatness. Can't wait to pickup a solid copy.



Comes out in early December (around the 8th)....

Here's a link to pre-order it off Amazon.

Cover Me Monday - "My Boys"

Taken By Trees is the solo project of Swedish singer/songwriter Victoria Bergsman.

Very few will recognize her from the backup vocals she provided in Peter, Bjorn, and John's whistle-tastic single, "Young Folks".

I have a feeling that a majority of us however, will know her by her cover of Animal Collective's "My Girls"...conveniently titled, "My Boys"

Enjoy it!
