Even with the success of tracks like One Republic “Apologize” — it’s always hilarious hearing Timbaland on these types of songs. Not to mention Timbo’s new album features more pop’ish acts like Miley Cyrus (WHAT?), Daughtry (YUGHK!), The Fray (UM?) and Katy Perry (OK!). One sandwich short from a Lady Gaga appearance and Jay-Z verse later, Shock Value II might just fall short of its predecessor. Tim still gets it in with the production but we can go without his raps on this. C’mon Timmy, Say Something.

Truthfully, I have never heard of Fever Ray up to this point, but this video gives off such a cold vibe that you can’t help but to feel bad after watching it. With the holidays around the corner, it’s safe to say some people will let that loneliness/emptiness become a wind chill inside of their own mind and soak in it until time finally gives them the peace they need. This video was crazy. Their debut solo self-titled album, is in stores now.
I wasn’t quite a fan of their last single “Horchata” (and this is coming from someone who obsessively visits taco truck where they serve horchata) but somehow I feel like I should have been. It baffles me how these guys even know what horchata is, but I guess you can’t be mad for them dedicating a whole song to the drink.
The video above is not for the aforementioned song, but rather for “Cousins” — err, I guess it’s a better tune.

Seeing as how I was a fan of Merriweather Post Pavilion (ask someone else and they’ll tell you that shit is classic), it was good to hear Animal Collective had a small EP in the works. Fall Be Kind will be released on vinyl in December, but you know how the internet works.
