Music Update: Animal Collective, Garotas Suecas, Swan Lake

Accidentally saw these guys on Friday night. They're fun, soulful Brazilian "garage band" and they had a crowd of hip Williamsburgers dancing like the best of em'. Some girl dressed up like an Allosaurus gave me one of their pins.

Think Sargent Pepper's B-Sides.

Garotas Suecas - "Não Espere Por Mim"



Garotas Suecas - "Corina"


A petition is circulating to goad Canadian "supergroup" into going on tour to promote their upcoming release Enemy Mine. Swan Lake are comprised of Dan Bejar (Destroyer, New Pornos), Spencer Krug (Most notably: Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade, Frog Eyes), and Casey Mercer (Frog Eyes). Here is a Rapidshare of their 2006 Album Beast Moans. You can sign the petition here.

Finally, Animal Collective released the official video for "My Girls." It's an enlightening experience for anyone whose never seen them work up close and in person.



More poems from me (hopefully) soon.
