Chirp motherfucker

Animal Collective - 'Grass'
Ok. This destroys everything. Just when you began wondering how they were gonna evolve from Sung Tongs they blow your brains out with this over the top psychedelic little piece of ruckus. By far the most Here Comes the Indian-like track on the new album. Insanity, yo!

CocoRosie - 'Tekno Love Song'
Hey, at least they admit to being gimmicky. Yeah that's right, playboy, they use hiphopslang in weird folksongs. They paint moustaches on their lips, don't shave their armpits and remain sexy at the same time. Not even Ciara can pull that off. 'Tekno Love Song' is an ode to their past as ravers, being happy hardcore fans. Yeah, wtf. Can't really hear that in the song either. Crunchy acoustic guitar chords sounding like coming out of clockradio speakers dribble by. Intimate. Sierra nails it here with her breezy soprano, can't really compare it to anything. Billie Holliday sure ain't as freaky!

Devendra Banhart - 'Heard Somebody Say'
This is a million miles away from the answering machine tapes he recorded Oh My Oh My on. Pacing along with a candy coated piano melody and sweet haa haa haaaa's. Sounds like Devendra doing an impression of a Magnetic Fields song. Really though, his world is so colourful. Even when he keeps it simple it's gorgeous, this is not simple, imagine the beauty.
