As yesterday, I’m pretty preoccupied with the new Animal Collective record that has turned up. It’s called “Merriweather Post Pavilion”, I think it might be my first favourite record of 2009, and if I can get my thoughts in some sort of order I’ll blog about it tomorrow.
In the meantime, here’s the embarrassment of riches that has passed for an office playlist at the start of this week. Iran are Kyp Malone from TV On The Radio’s other band. Particular love, too, for Max Ochs, I should say.
