Oi! A few tunes from the class of '09 have popped up this past week, that I wanted to share with y'all! One is one of the at first glance more anonymous tracks on Arctic Monkeys' Humbug-record of yesteryear, that's really a prime representative of the much dustier style of the Monkeys on their third record. It's 'Dance Little Liar', which really kicks off viciously at 3:16. This latter part of the track is to some extent a comely reunification of Arctic Monkeys' earlier, intenser style and their obscureness of late.
The other sits at the unforgiving last spot of an album that is very easy to lose focus on, and thus it has taken me a long time to really get into this. I haven't really gotten into the album yet, even though everyone seemed to rave about it when it came out (and still do). It's 'Brother Sport', from Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, which is really a joyful and much more popish tune than many of the more oddball tracks on this album. Very enjoyable.
Just to add some new stuff, Four Tet have done this marathon of a remix of 'VCR' from The xx' Mercury Prize-winning, eponymous album. It's pretty chill!
I had an awesome few days in Copenhagen this weekend, and I'm really massively looking forward to moving there! To make time pass, I ordered a few new albums this Monday - more on that soon...
