Animal Collective - Feels


"hey cuttlefish (my musicname), i thought you said you weren't gonna make another hipster post..."

"yes, but, you see, animal collective is not hipster, it is awesome music that hipsters just happen to sometimes like too, so, uh, FUCK YOUUUUUUUUU"

feels is an album which might sound funny to you (at least, more funny than the usual animal collective freak folk would sound weird to you), and this is because all the instruments are very slightly untuned from the traditional twelve tones we are used to hearing. it sounds better than i am describing it just trust me.

Battles - Atlas


one of my first math rock albums, looking back (which shows how young i am, heh), but it was also, at the same time, and introduction to space rock, pitch shifting, alternate tunings, and looping jams. maybe its just nostalgia, but i still freakin' love the crazyness (even if they did "sell out" by going on the twilight movie soundtrack)
