Visually gorgeous yet completely fucked-up, we’re all about this new video from Baltimore-based Animal Collective, ever since we learned that CU-friend and actor/singer/songwriter — Sarah Nischwitz — is featured throughout.

Nice grille, girl. Gotta give it up for the redheads before they all go extinct.

Animal Collective’s new album — Strawberry Jam — drops September 10th, with NYC tour dates:

[TIX] :: Sep 30 :: Webster Hall
[TIX] :: Oct 01 :: Webster Hall
[MP3]: Animal Collective  ”Peacebone”

Alloy Mental‘s debut, We Have Control harks back to the golden era of hard-hitting breakbeat techno, recalling acts like Leftfield, The Drum Club, and The Prodigy.

Check out the video above for the Belfast group’s savage stomping “God Is Green” and try not to let yourself bounce out of your seat. It’s like Ascii Disko meets a cement mixer – perfect to get you through the Wednesday slump and into the weekend. Grab “Fortunate One” below as an added bonus.

We Have Control is out now on Skint and available for download from eMusic and Beatport.

Gui Boratto | “Beautiful Life”

Yesterday, Pitchfork called Gui Boratto’s debut album, Chromophobia, “one of the three or four best artist-albums to bear the Kompakt stamp.” Having cut my Boratto teeth on 2005′s “Arquipélago” and last year’s “It’s Magic,” I was pretty stoked about his debut on Kompakt.

The first song I heard off of Chromophobia was the German microhouse track “Beautiful Life,” which completely BLEW ME AWAY, exceedingly better than anything I’ve heard from the Brazilian architect, producer, musician, and composer. Those blissful synth tones make it a really easy song to love and they’re sure to instantly brighten up your day. Highly Recommended!
