is that PB remix of Eric Copeland pitch shifted? it must be ! I cannot hear his regular falsetto voice in that at all. Either way, i love it. Been gone for a month or so. glad to be back, y'all ! what'd i miss?

I believe its from transposing the vocal formants
...Shifting from male to female charechteristics .
It's done in a similar way to autotune - thru analysis , editing and resynthesis -
Tho this is obviously more artful that the instant vocaloid fx

.......He told me he spent a lot of time tweaking it to get it convincing...
I think its the bomb .......Il Diva....ha

wow that's really cool, no wonder it sounds so strange

this is why I love when Pete stops by

He never comes empty handed, he is our Santa

this track is so good. I can't stop jamming it.

Definitely getting Atiba song vibes with this. It's like I know the melody doesn't really change that much but I just get lost in it and it doesn't feel repetitive at all. PB writes such good melodies it's really unreal.

The music just strikes better. I think it's just the way this album is, it's definitely a grower. It needs to marinate to allow all the little subtleties to come out. So yeah I love this album.

Yes!!
in even a few more months, a year from now, several years, somehow this period of Panda and Pete's music (including the new EP) is going to keep growing in how it interacts with everyone who experiences it! Hmm... Animal collective's creations overall have that sense that people will enjoy them all the way to the oldest they become, and i think they realized it maybe around the time of feels!

ok so it's actually just an EP of remixes, but it's cool because one of them is by Container :negative:

I LOVE PETE ROCK

Could not be happier about this collaboration. Really enjoyable, if not too radical (which I'm ok with, since Crosswords's melody is one of my favorites). Also excited for the whole EP.

Thanks Noah, PeteK, PeteR, and Domino!

Oh yeah Pete I know we still have more Greaper jams coming in the fall!! So psyched

Post **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 10:35 pm

Wow Pete Rock... That's so cool.

I didn't like it at first, but I like the recessed vocals and sweet beat. Lots of PB material this year

Oh yeah thanks for sticking around PK

Post **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 11:28 pm

Damn the reaper era is gonna be a whole year long when it's done. EP last fall, album winter, remix EP summer, final EP this fall

listening to that andy stott remix again, and man it's good. i love that you can hear panda bear's percussion, but it's buried under layers of dark noise and texture. the infrequent emergence of noah's vocals is cool, too

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:56 am

wish there was gonna be a vinyl release for some remixes.

excited to hear the other ones next week.

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 12:52 pm

Just wanna say how amazingly executed this era has been! I feel like I've been locked inside the Goldi Loxxx Zone since 2013 and it keeps expanding! This record is ruling my life!!

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 3:42 pm

Pete Rock remix is what we all thought GR would sound like circa 2013 LOL

all these remixes are great, but Danny L Harle's trumps the rest by far

container remix is soooo sick

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 4:14 pm

so is dj marfox's remix, some seriously hot soca beats going through that one. not usually big on remix ep's but this one is exceptionally good

but damn container is out of this world, so underrated

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:24 pm

oh wow dj marfox remix baaaaangs

Container remix is super dope

when he turns up the distortion knob

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:56 pm

the Container one sounds like Rock N Roll by Daft Punk, I mean in the spirit

Post **Posted:** Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:01 pm

NICE, the only one i still don't like is the PC Music one but the rest of these are bangers

Post **Posted:** Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:43 am

Agreed!

I would kill for the whole album remixed by Pete Rock (Well maybe not Tropic of Cancer

). This version of Crosswords keeps growing on me.

not an upload. this is just the hidden soundcloud playlist that pbvsgr.com/ loads up

Post **Posted:** Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:35 pm

container and andy stott ones are the only one thats rly listenable for me..no disrespect, i think ive just heard these tracks so many times it feels forced to hear the vocals placed over the remixes

Post **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 1:15 am

Just now watching some Tomboy era live recordings. I love the cool ass flip arounds Petek does.

How about a new Sonic Boom/Spectrum album?

Post **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:09 am

i know i'm not the only one but i feel like i'm in the minority on liking the Danny Harle remix

Post **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 7:51 pm

I'll have to listen again, but my first impression was that everything was fine except the annoying vocal shift, which ruined for me.

Post **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:21 pm

Remix EP is the bomb!

Standout remixes are Andy Stott's, Pete Rock's & Container's. Come to Your Senses' remixes are the bangers, though!

Pete Rock's remix sounds like the 1 jam I would drop at a pool party.

Also, Panda's version of Cheap Treat is super sweet, I bet Julian Casablancas would dig this tune and it could/should be a 40 top radio hit
