Animal Collective – In The Flowers video

Merriweather Post Pavilion, in stores now!

Animal Collective are set to release a new five track studio EP on November 23rd 2009 (digitally) and 15th December (physically).

Recorded by Ben Allen at Sweet Tea in Oxford, MS in February 2008 and at Mission Sound in Brooklyn, NY August 2009, Fall Be Kind includes recent live favorites Graze and What Would I Want? Sky (featuring the first ever licensed Grateful Dead sample). Fall be Kind will be available worldwide on CD, 12” vinyl and via digital download.

The EP comes less than one year after the band’s critically acclaimed album Merriweather Post Pavilion which wowed fans and critics across the globe. Merriweather has already been named one of the most important albums of the year by Q magazine and Spin in the US, and of the entire decade by Uncut and Pitchfork. Expect to see Merriweather Post Pavillion named one of the year’s best by fans and critics as the year comes to a close.

Last week Black Lips took to the airwaves with their live performance of “Drugs”, the rough and rollicking single featured on their most recent album 200 Million Thousand (VICE Records). Filmed during their September 25th New York show supporting Yo La Tengo at the Roseland Ballroom, “Drugs” aired Thursday October 29th on NBC’s Last Call With Carson Daly. Capturing their near-legendary stage presence with a rager sure to please, whatever your substance of choice may be.

Following their wholesome All-American addictions for baseball and ice cream, their insatiable appetite for touring the world continues this January for a handful of shows throughout the West coast before embarking to Australia and Japan. See below for the full list of US and Australian tour dates.

Black Lips, perhaps the world’s most nefariously consistent live band and raucous pioneers for a new generation of psychedelia-steeped garage rock have released their fourth video from 200 Million Thousand (VICE Records). For the searing gem “Let It Grow”, director Matt Dilmore filmed exclusively with the late 90’s kids camera Vidster, creating a unique effect incomparable in resolution to today’s HD standards but rife with character.

Appropriately translating the strange odyssey Black Lips traverse in the endlessly catchy song, Dilmore’s pixelated creation complements the nostalgic portrayal of reckless youthful abandon that the band does so well. The surreal journey follows an extraterrestrial-obsessed tourist through his desert travels, culminating in an iconic cameo by the oversized, blindfolded-and-squirming cat Queso (with negligible psychological trauma incurred).

Following up summer festival appearances at NXNE, Athfest, Pitchfork, and the Capitol Hill Block Party, Black Lips unending devotion to touring will bring them to the Scion Garage Fest and New Orleans’ Voodoo Experience, with headlining dates throughout the South.

On Tuesday, September 29th The Avett Brothers will release I and Love and You, their major label debut on American Recordings/Columbia Records. I and Love and You was produced by multi Grammy Award winner Rick Rubin. The band is set to perform the title track on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday September 28.

Beginning today, and running through September 29, NPR Music will host an Exclusive First Listen of I and Love and You on their website, www.npr.org/firstlisten, where fans will be able to get a sneak peak of the new album a week prior to release. NPR Music’s distinctive Exclusive First Listen series recently showcased new music from such innovators as Wilco, Moby, Bjork and Neko Case.

The band’s diverse style and consistent touring, along with independent releases, have helped the band build a loyal and rabid fan base. Rolling Stone recently highlighted the band in their ‘Artists To Watch’ proclaiming “Over the course of a decade The Avett Brothers perfected a blend of bluegrass picking, country harmonies and rock & roll energy.” While O Magazine proclaimed “The North Carolina rock band creates elegiac Americana.” The Avett Brothers have toured most of 2009 testing out new material, as well as their older songs. This year alone, the band has performed at SxSW Music Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, as well as upcoming stops at Newport Folk Festival, Mulberry Mountain Festival, Outside Lands Festival, Britt Festival, Austin City Limits Festival and more (see full itinerary below).

The Decemberists’ album The Hazards of Love was released by EMI’s Capitol Records in March to rave reviews with NPR calling the album an “epic adventure” and SPIN writing that it “yields spectacular sparks,” adding that it contains “some of the snarliest, bluesiest, rockingest moments in The Decemberists’ catalog.” The raves continued when the band hit the road for their “A Short Fazed Hovel” tour with Pitchfork calling the live performance “a triumph,” The Wall Street Journal declaring it “a remarkable experience,” and New York Magazine naming it the “Indie Rock Show of the Year.”

On October 19, The Decemberists will unveil Here Come The Waves: The Hazards of Love Visualized, a special project that takes their ambitious and acclaimed song cycle to new heights for it’s final American performance at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles. This unique live experience will feature The Decemberists in collaboration with four filmmakers—Guilherme Marcondes, Julia Pott, Peter Sluszka and Santa Maria—each of whom have created animation to accompany a section of the music. Presented in association with Flux, the event will also be a benefit for The GRAMMY Foundation®’s Grammy In The Schools® music education programs for high school students.

At Royce Hall, The Decemberists will perform the entire piece synchronized with the animation, as well as an additional second set of older and newer material. A limited presale will begin at 10:00am PT on Wednesday, September 16 at http://www.decemberists.tickets.musictoday.com. General tickets will go on sale on Friday, September 18. The band will also kick off the final leg of their “A Short Fazed Hovel” tour this week. See full dates below.

About The Filmmakers:

Guilherme Marcondes was born in São Paulo, Brazil. He started working as an illustrator while still in architecture school. In 2000 he joined the Brazilian animation studio Lobo where he worked for five years, eventually directing spots for international clients such as Diesel, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. In 2005 he went to London to direct the build-up campaign for that year’s Europe Music Awards at MTV Networks. He came back to São Paulo and directed Tyger, a short film that won more than 20 awards around the world. Marcondes moved to the US in 2006 and worked for a year at the renowned studio Motion Theory. He currently works with Hornet, a New York-based production company representing directors in the areas of multimedia, directing short films and commercials.

Julia Pott is a freelance animator and illustrator working out of London and New York. Her clients include Malibu Rum, Picador, Chronicle Books, Picasso Pictures, Sherbet, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone and Of Montreal. Her work has been exhibited in London, the U.S. and Antwerp and her animations have been screened at Onedotzero, Rushes Soho Shorts, the Youtube Short Film of the Year Award, SXSW and Pangea Day. She collaborates with her fellow animators in the animation collective Treat Studios. She begins an MA in animation at the Royal College of Art in Fall 2009.

Peter Sluszka is a New York-based director with Hornet specializing in stop-motion animation and photo-based effects. He studied literature and visual arts at Columbia University, eventually contriving to combine his love of storytelling and visual innovation by studying stop-motion animation at the School of Visual Arts. Sluszka has directed animation for feature films, commercials, music videos, television series, and performance projections. He has collaborated with Michel Gondry and Pilobolus, and manipulated everything from traditional foam latex puppets to meat, origami, snow, and yarn.

Santa Maria is a directing team comprised of Josh Goodrich and David Hill. Working in both live action and animation, Santa Maria’s vibrant mixed-media style evokes a playful, unexpected tone. For Goodrich and Hill, the creative process is a path of exploration. They are on a constant mission to fuse contrasting aesthetics, whether it’s integrating Native American and ‘80s motifs or merging folk art with techno design. Goodrich and Hill met at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where they studied computer animation and illustration, respectively. With their joint experience in illustration and computer animation, the two, directors at Hornet in New York, make a highly complementary team.

Hazards of Love

By Sam

I’m a little late in writing this review (the album came out 2 months ago), but I’m glad I waited. Upon my first, second and even third listen-though, I was less than enthralled with the latest effort from the sea-chanty-spouting indie darlings, The Decemberists. The album came across as a muddled mixture of frantic acoustic guitar picking and awkward lyrics about babies, magic and sex in the woods.

Hazards of Love is a concept album that (in a nutshell) tells the story of a woodland Fawn who falls in love, only to have a jealous magical Queen of the woods betray him and attempt to kill his lover. The story is rather complex, and without knowing at least a basic synopsis, listeners may be completely lost during the first few times through the album. With so many characters to voice, the record boasts some impressive guest singers (Ex: Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond voices Margaret, the object of the Fawn’s affection).

The overall impression that I was left with was that Hazards was nothing but the overblown masturbatory fantasy of lead singer/songwriter Colin Meloy and whatever special guests he could pay with his undoubtedly impressive Capitol Records budget.

Because as we all know, the Decemberists SUCK because they are signed to mega-evil Capitol Records, right? Right?!

Everybody who bought Hazards (….or downloaded it) and thought the same as me needs to take a deep breath, shut off all distractions and spin the record again. Forget about the label, the reputation, and everything you know about this band. Empty your head. Don’t think of anything but the music that you are hearing, and the story that is being expertly sketched in front of you. This is what I had to do, and when I did that something happened. Something incredible.

Not only did I come around to this album, but it also literally knocked me over. By the time it got around to the climactic scenes near the end, I was so deep into the story that every line seemed to pierce into me–particularly the sorrowful howling of Stark in “Margaret in Captivity”. The album takes its time, pacing itself at moments when Meloy wants to show time passing within the story line, represented by instrumental tracks like the gorgeous “An Interlude” which occurs about halfway through the record. This is not a record that you can easily toss in and skip around, listening only to your favourite tracks. That is the brilliant trick of this album, but its also what makes it so hard to absorb–to get the full impact, it must be listened to from start to finish.

Much in the same vein as an opera or a modern musical, motifs are presented, restated, then altered. Sometimes these motifs are purely musical. For example, the evil characters (The Rake, the Queen, Margaret’s Father) are always featured alongside thick electric guitar riffs, which are never heard when the Fawn is present. Thematic motifs– like waves, which play a large part in the story’s imagery–are also presented throughout. “Wanting Comes in Waves” is one of the disc’s stand-out tracks, and portions of it are reprised no less than three times over the course of the album.

If I have one major qualm with this album it’s that it is mixed exactly like a boring, big-budget studio album. Some of the moments which should sound gigantic, raw, and dramatic come across as flat. Moments of extreme tension or crescendo seem to be offset by the fact that, for the most part, the album sounds as though its being held at the same volume no matter what is occurring in the music. The drums in particular are mixed completely level with each other and everything else, which means that often times they are either too loud or too quiet depending on the mood of the song. But for this, more blame is to be laid on producer Tucker Martine than on the band.

Hazards of Love is a beautifully told story. If you invest the time to get to know it, you may find yourself truly captivated (and a little heartbroken) when it all comes to an end. The songs are written with a great deal of care and thought; it’s clear that Meloy and crew took their time and attempted to make a record that would slowly unveil itself to the listener. Although it is not perfect and will not likely go down in history as a revolution in operatic indie-rock, there is something gentle, deeply sorrowful, and stirring about this effort.

Brooklyn synth-popsters Chairlift are pleased to announce an extensive headlining tour across North America and Europe with Phoenix, innovative UK up-and-comers Micachu and the Shapes, and several others. The band’s summer is in full swing after several performances at Bonnaroo last month, and their first set of West Coast headlining dates in the LA area. The band also recently made their network television debut on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on Friday June 26, performing “Bruises.”

Live, Chairlift has continued to captivate audiences of all sizes across the US and Europe. Rolling Stone named Chairlift one of “Four Bands to Watch” at Bonnaroo and said, “…far darker than ["Bruises"] suggests: Chairlift craft surreal electro-pop that serve as a base for singer Caroline Polachek’s gorgeous, opera-trained voice.” SPIN gave the band’s debut 4/5 stars and a spot on their “Top 40 Albums of 2008″ list, heralded as “startlingly impressive” with “astute, melodic evocations of plinky new wave…that achieve a timeless emotional resonance.” Venus also said, “Caroline Polachek’s…crystal clear voice was more than plenty to get the crowd going.” Polachek also did a much-revered performance at the festival with MGMT.

In preparation for their extensive touring schedule, Chairlift will be performing at festivals across the US and Europe, including All Points West, Lollapalooza, Latitude and Way Out West. They will also perform with TV on the Radio at the Double Door in Chicago. The tour will kick off in New York at the Bowery Ballroom Sept. 5 and will wrap up in the UK with Phoenix.
