  • The newest album from Eric Copeland (Black Dice, Terrestrial Tones) sounds like a mix between Terrestrial Tones' Dead Drunk, Animal Collective's poppier material (think Peacebone EP), and Black Dice's stuff just as they were transitioning from their hardcore roots into more avant territory (Miles of Smiles, Creature Comforts).

Episode #22 - Extinction

1. Song: First Scream , Artist: With Love , Album: A Great Circle (Gold Standard Laboratories)
  • Really neat combo CD/DVD from this Italian band. No break between tracks, which, along with the film (which has the album as its soundtrack), makes this seem like some sort of concept album.

2. Song: Jesse , Artist: Scott Walker, Album: The Drift (4AD)

  • This is really scary stuff, a combination of baroque pop and what Roy Orbison would sound like if he were from the 7th level of Hell. Totally different stuff from his early career and his material on The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou soundtrack. Can't wait for the documentary chronicling his career, 30th Century Man (which is currently only screening in the U.K.), to hit stateside at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
