After two incredible albums, “Strawberry Jam” and “Merriweather Post Pavilion“, a lot of touring in between and beyond, and even the full length motion picture ODDSAC released at the beginning of this year, it seems Animal Collective has begun to show signs of growing weary. “There was just so much touring for us,” Panda Bear (aka [...]

Yes, track number 3 from the proposed 44-song, 11-EP “album” Teargarden by Kaleidyscope has been released. This one, called “A Stitch in Time,” is about as left-field as the title suggests. There’s sitar over acoustic indie-pop flair, as well as swirls of guitar here and there that float around the simple ditty. Think the lighter [...]

I knew this was gonna suck even before the nominations were announced. I knew it because I knew that they wouldn’t bother to have albums of quality - ya know, Merriweather Post Pavilion or Us or Wilco (the Album) or Cuban Linx II.
