panda bear - person pitch

mallard

i like animal collective. i dig a decent amount of indie releases each year, but i'm usually not checking for things, they just happen upon me. i wasn't too hype on this album, hadn't heard anything about it, just rolled one and queued it up since it was new.man.this is no doubt already cemented in my top whatever list forever. perpetually beautiful and positive. my first inclination was to shelve it until summer, because it is just that type of music that i wanted to enjoy it fully with the windows down, but i cannot stop playing it. highly recommended. hope some of you check for it and appreciate as much as i have.for those of you who want an idea of what it sounds like, "brian wilson" is pressing hard on the tip of my tongue, but i will not and can not. it's not really fair for either party.[ayo] EDIT: and if it makes any of you more excited about checking it out, there is a straight-up joe bataan vocal riff in one of the tracks. that vibe, really.

Love it.. indie record of the year and it's only what March?

jazzercism

I exclusively listen to this album right now. It's all I want to hear.

i can't tell if this is a cosign or a remark on my supposed naivety.

either way, yes.

slush

I don't know what the fuck indie is, but I love this record

mallard

upping off the strength of the replies so far. you need this in your life.

macaca

this is the only NEW record ive been listening to for the last few months.
yeah its its only march, but its on my top whatever for whenever too.

mallard

come on guys. there's gotta be someone here who absolutely DESPISES this album and all it stands for.

don't make me go through the trouble of coming up with an alias to offer the obligatory counter-post.

Burns

can I get hit off of that?! clip,sendspace,zshare, somethin' for the needy.

I found a mp3 off this record and I didn't like it (reminded me of what I didn't like about 'indie rock' 10+ years ago)

But folks whose opinion I respect like it so I'm reserving judgement until I hear the album

behemoth

someone should upload this and link us

maybe

macaca

this song has been in rotation since november .

If you all haven't heard the MAFAMA radio set he did shortly before Person Pitch's release, it's a must hear. Plenty of tunes from the album, but there's a few that aren't on there for some reason, and they're the most beautiful songs ever.

I ride hard for Panda Bear in 07.

Yeah, this is amazing.

I remember hearing that one Jane track that has the same misty feel for the first time, and instantly wanting more.

secondeded!

gravelheadwrap

thanks for the link my friend was just telling me i need to check this, always liked animal collective as welllll

tonyphrone

I'm interested in hearing this.

I've been totally bored with "indie" lately. Shins, Arcade fire, Decemberists, Death Cabzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz - boring!

Remember when Indie was kinda weird and eccentric? I guess that might be Animal Collective (who I have to admit i haven't really heard much of) - so i'm gonna check this out.

I need some "new" music in my life for sure.

if you're curious and patient, i think you can get a lot out of recent releases that include the canadian, daniel bejar. try destroyer's rubies[/b] - basically his solo project - or his more recent work with the frontmen from frog eyes and wolf parade, swan lake[/b], though maybe not so much his stuff w/ the new pornographers. i like animal collective all right, but i find daniel bejar's stuff to be endlessly impressive. i've also heard lots of good things about the new grizzly bear, too.

awall

i'm going to pretend this is the new eightball and MJG album or something and give it the patented soulstrut track-by-track rundown

1. Comfy in Nautica. a chant mantra of lost smiley smile vocal-reels played full volume in an airline hanger. really fucking good, i remember hearing this on a 7" last year

2. Take Pills. more beach boys with a sampler and field recordings shit, pretty fucking apt title. this is dope

3. Bros. the point you realize that dude just really likes the beach boys and then say whatever, that is cool with me. this gets a pass even in light of the really horrid 1992 video art class style music video by the guy from excepter

4. I'm Not. two tramadols and a bong hit cuddle jam 2007. my house-mate said this sounded "like enya" and i can't say i totally disagree with him. this song also came out before, i think (?)

5. Good Girl/Carrots. obnoxious rave tablas and faux-reggae part that somehow works. undoubtedly the most questionable song on the album.

6. Search for Delicious. ummm i see you've found the tape echo setting on the sp-303. okay i'll pass on this one

7. Ponytail. guitar!!?!? the first time i listened to the album when it was over i just listened to this song four times in a row afterwards. an actual, you know, "song" and probably the best track

conclusion: this record sounds like the beach boys and is good

awall

also worth disussion: the new avey tare album which is really not that good in comparison. even if you play it backwards.

Burns

panda bear, just got done eating this, this album is deep, something I would like to bake in the sun to, or fall off the sky with.

this track is stupid nice. yeah, its unnecessarily long & could have been 3 separate tracks; putting that aside, the last 2 of the 3 are

jlee

this album is melting my brain.

absolutely amazing. thank you SoulStrut, as i would have likely missed this for a few more months.

much appreciated.

GenePontecorvo

Is this album actually released yet on vinyl or cd?

mallard

march 20th cd only with accompanying 12"s

jazzercism

Is this album actually released yet on vinyl or cd?

I think it officially comes out March 20th on CD. But I want this on LP. Any word on whether it will be available on vinyl? rape_donkeys, I'm hoping you'll be able to answer this one.

Your right Destroyer's rubies was pretty amazing - but I LOVE THE WOLF PARADE! THAT'S MY FAVORITE INDIE RECORD OF THE PAST COUPLE YEARS!

I just listened to "Person Pitch"- and it was cool- but it was still too precious for me. I dunno- I'm in the mood for "rocking" jams I guess.

Anyone hear the new Cheeseburger record?
