In anticipation of the new Belle & Sebastian album, have a look at one of the songs from 'Belle & Sebastian Write About Love' being performed in LA this week. Twee yourselves out.

Is this a new Shins album on the way? ....No it's Italian indie rockers 'A Classic Education' with a familiar sound of echoing vocals washed over with reverb filled guitars. This is the chilled out video of 'Gone to Sea' from their album 'Hey There Stranger' which is out now on Lefse Records.

New Avey Tare preview from upcoming album

Picture
In terms of Animal Collective solo efforts, Panda Bear has certainly pushed the wacky boat way out to shore with his 2007 multi genre incorporating 'Person Pitch'. 3 years, and one seminal Animal Collective album later, fellow Collective member Avey Tare, rolls up his sleeves and attempts to put a little more recondite into all our lives with the new track 'Lucky 1'


Avey Tare's theme and subject matter, however, couldn't be further from the glistening songs about adolescent depression found in tracks such as 'Take Pills' on Panda's release.  It has been suggested that the album aswell as the cover art have been influenced by Tare's love of Crocodiles (Of-course, how obvious).



As this track begins one could forgive you for thinking this sample was ripped straight off of Merryweather Post Pavilions 'Lion in  a Coma' with its jungle orientated beats. 


Check this out for yourself and enjoy the strange mix of Avey Tare's ear for the exotic, placed (awkwardly?) within the confines of a minimalist structure.
