Listening To... #6
Posted on February 4th, 9:13PM , 2010 by chris in
A selection of great things from my brother-in-law this time:
  • Beach House - Teen Dream
    • Great dreamy lazy melodic pop - perfect for the Pet Sounds (or Animal Collective) lover in you. The more I listen to this, the more I love it.
  • Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
    • More melodic dreamy psychedelic (not my favorite normally, but love it here) pop from the Brooklyn folks. Modern with a good beat, and beautiful layering. (check out a sweet video of theirs Brothersport - how much fun must the filmshoot have been for those kids!)
  • Flaming Lips - Dark Side of the Moon
    • Great re-do of a super classic album. WIth White Dwarves, Stardeath. Vocals by Henry Rollins and Peaches!
  •  Pajo - Scream With Me
    • The cover art looks like it would be dark and noisy, but the music is lo-fi and folkish, although the lyrics are dark. Sounds good so far. Hadn't heard of him before, but looks like he's been around - Slint, Royal Trux, Billy Corgan/Zwan, Tortoise...
