They weren’t kidding about the all-instrumental part. But as far as Mike D saying it’ll be straight “post-punk instrumental” and sound nothing like their last sans vocals effort … well, with Money Mark on keys, you’re bound to get The In Sounds From Way Out!’s groovy flavor. Anyway, Reader Becky sent us this taste of The Mix-Up, saying “Personally, I love it.” Have a listen…

Head to MySpace to check on the progress artist to watch Ferraby Lionheart’s been making on his big debut LP for Nettwerk. We gave you a listen of “Before We’re Dead (New Orleans Song)” a few months back, now there’s three more to sample: the Elliott Smith-y “Vermont Avenue”; the lovely, lazy, glocks-and-piano-pop of “Small Planet”; and the croony acoustic ditty “A Bell And Tumble.”

Catch The Brass Ring is out 9/4 on Nettwerk.

All that stays serene about this stunning newbie from Animal Collective is the piano melody; the rest, as you’d expect, is prone to sonic freak outs and the Geologist’s manipulative madness. P4K dug up this clip, recorded for TVP Kultura, a Polish arts and culture network, and it’s a must-watch for AC fans.

Maybe “Cuckoo” will turn up on Animal Collective’s forthcoming Domino-released LP, maybe it won’t (we have no idea, actually) — but it oughta get you primed for the band’s tour, which kicks off tonight in Ohio. Dates after the jump.
