Odd Encounter: Animal Collective Members Say Hello

Last Monday, Stephen, Megan and I journeyed up to Portland to catch a screening of Animal Collective’s visual album, ODDSAC. After the show, band members Avey Tare and Deakin said what’s up to us… Ch-ch-ch-check it out.


Blitzen Trapper announce Black River Killer EP

News fresh from Sub Pop. The new EP will be in stores August 25th. We’ll do our best to get some advanced listenings of it this summer.

According to Stereogum, it’ll pull together many divergent sounds, making a hard rock departure from their usual home-spun melodies. I’m offering a special prize to the person who can figure out the name of the ’80s Libyan pop star. Worth a look.

Blitzen Trapper is playing Pickathon this year with Dr.Dog, Thao with The Get Down Stay Down and square dancing?
