Other albums I have to mention are:
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE - STRAWBERRY JAM
After the so critically acclaimed FEELS and the PEOPLE Ep, we already have here the so anticipated new record, the first one for Domino. And I say so anticipated because, as it is now so habitual, you could find some songs on the Internet from the beginning of June, and the album is supposed to be released in September. Members from Animal Collective asked the journalists who leaked the songs that, once the damaged was done, please leaked all the album for the people to be able to hear it altogether and they also prosecuted these journalists so the promotional copies were watermarked.
So because of that, we are already able to hear the full new album and they've done a logical progression from their previous works. Less atmospheric than their previous record and more based on samplers and keyboards than anything they've done before, it's their most commercial record to date as well, which it has not to be a bad thing, and maybe not as brilliant as Feels or Panda Bear's this year record, but still in the first class league.
I saw them live last week, and I have to say they were great. They didn't use any guitar, just drums, samplers and keyboards, but you could here many acoustic sounds coming from their machines. As they become more commercial record by record, they still don't make any concession when they play live, avoiding any song from their last record, presenting the new one but without playing what should be the obvious hits, and playing a lot of new songs that maybe are going to have release in a future.
Here you have the video for Fireworks:
LONEY, DEAR - LONEY, NOIR
This is the debut of this Swedish band for Sub Pop but it's their second album, if I'm right. Quiet melodic and euphoric pop as it seems can only be made in Sweden nowadays. The voice of his singer gets high levels that we could only imagine Newsom or Bush could get, and he's a man. Here you have two videos:
Saturday waits
I am John
