So has anyone pre-ordered this for that sweet MP3? If so, you can PM me if you want to...

Talking Heads/Bowie vibes on my third listen.

What if this is Dave's Person Pitch and everyone freaks out over this?!?!?

This is so weird in a way that I can't articulate. It's only gotten better after 20+ listens and is kind of morphing continually. But it seems crazy how clear some thing are. Some of this is so dry and clean in a way that seems alien for Avey, and makes it more intense. Nearly murk-less, hm. Spirit-y, but HQ obvs.

yeah this track is incredible and always leaves me in a really weird place...i love it. i want something totally alien from everything else AC has ever done, and this is totally that. its so great

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:18 pm

like i knew it would be new but this is super new

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:38 pm

this new single is more like Avey Tare's MGMT

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:38 pm

Loooooooooooove it! It's a funny nugget of our era. Kinda daft punky, kinda mgmtish, it's that really tight four four with glistening instrumentation. Weird how simply by the context of the band and the subtle backdrop within the song the pretty melodies are like pink faces illuminated in a dark mirror-house

Post **Posted:** Mon Feb 10, 2014 11:39 pm

Those funny harmonies remind me of White Album (Wild Honey Pie/Bungalow Bill) and Smiley Smile. And all the instrumental counterpoint is sweet, subtle. And the tone is really interesting, like besides the ear-worm quality I think that's whats reminding people of Ariel, sort of light and silly but it still kinda sounds like its coming from real place.

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 12:22 am

definitely ariel vibes. super melodic, oddball pop that references the past but is texturally/sonically very now. really keen for the whole thing!

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 12:46 am

Yeah I was kinda getting Talking Heads/of Montreal/Tom Tom Club vibes from this track as well. The vocal effects are actually pretty tastefully done in my opinion. Sometimes his voice ends up sounding like rubbing on something very shiny and plastic, and other times it sounds like the searing temperature of the sun. I mean the hook, dat bass, Avey's vocals. I'm digging this so much.

How good does that deep bass sound, a way different song when played on a good pair of speakers.

the new song owns hard. LOVE that he released one that wasn't play live (it wasn't ever played live, right?) it's at least not on the boots I have...

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 2:08 am

Good observation. Unless things have been completely reworked before they began the recording process, I guess that this tidbit should temper some of those who are worried about whether or not the rest of the album will keep some of that particular sound from the boots.

Glasslands, IMO. Most would say that ATP sounds the clearest but that recording has always sounded a little hollow to me.

strawberry meat i expect to see u at the dc show in april. s'gonna kill

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 3:21 am

the panda boots completely pulled my attention away from this whole project but holy shit. that single was awesome. i love the whole feel of the song. one of the catchiest choruses in AC history for me.

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 3:24 am

hey pitchfork gave it best new track!

oh yea will be sure to be there. they seem like they will be outrageously fun live!!

Really like how Jeremy Hyman's drumming is really understated on Little Fang, which is a nice change from all the crazy technical stuff he does on the other songs. Definitely looking forward to hearing some of his more insane drumming with this production tho.

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:12 am

so hyped on little fang.
i will be at that dc show for sure! u street is a totally intimate venue and reeeaaalllly small. should be a kick ass time

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:16 am

Soooo the pre-order comes with MP3 downloads....? Is this the whole album?

also gonna try and go to the DC show. I have work that day but I may just skip it cause Slasher Flicks clearly takes the cake.

[edit] Silly me for thinking they'd slip up and release the entire album for a pre-order DL

Post **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:17 am

At it's core, this is one of the most poppy tracks any of them have put out, if not the single most. More so than MPP even, agreed?

Not a bad thing at all because they definitely can pull it off!

yeah, that was like the first thing i noticed - its crazy how mellow the rhythm is compared to the boots (at least from the little i've heard)

when i first heard it I thought the overall vibe and groove of it reminded me of some of the simpler beats on Thriller- like Billie Jean or Baby Be Mine. Especially the thuddy kinda echoey toms. this is pretty great, even if sdsdgafgfg

Love the track! Listened 5-6 times.

Officially on the hype train.
