Hello! Patch isn’t dead, his finally been released from the hold of uni work and other shit that comes with it. I have the worst internet at the moment which, in conjunction of having a lack of motivation probably has put me off blogging but I’ll be back. Promise. I promise OK! Good.

Animal Collectives 07 album, Strawberry Jam, was a strong contender for my album of the year. That and drummer Panda Bear’s solo album, Person Pitch. So its no surprise I got really excited hearing news of a new AC album early 09. Named ‘Merriweather Post Pavilion’, the album features some really trippy artwork (above).

Tracklisting:
1. “In the Flowers”
2. “My Girls”
3. “Also Frightened”
4. “Summertime Clothes”
5. “Daily Routine”
6. “Bluish”
7. “Guys Eyes”
8. “Taste”
9. “Lion in a Coma”
10. “No More Runnin”
11. “Brothersport”

MP3: Blind Man’s Colour – Brother Sport (Animal Collective Cover)

Manchester group, Cats In Paris, remind me a bit of the fun, dance you ass off parts of Architecture In Helsinki, a bit of the eccentricity of Animal Collective and a bit of that Dan Deacon colour. Now if only theyd come down to Australia…

MP3: Cats In Paris – Foxes

MP3: Cats In Paris – Terrapins

Next up is some fucking great California fuzzed-out beach-punk noise-pop from Wavves (Nathan Williams). If you dig early Sonic Youth, Teenage Jesus and The Jerks or even some of the early punky MBV stuff, you’ll like this.

MP3: Wavves – Beach Demon

“Not content with smashing festival stages to smithereens, the Midnight Juggernuats have lined up a brand new EP for release, with an imposing list of musical artists putting the remix touch to their now cult classic ‘Into The Galaxy’. The EP will be available in Australia through iTunes in August, and it features remixes from the aforementioned Grandmaster Flash, Metronomy, Danger, Architecture in Helsinki, Chateau Mar”
