Animal Collective to Spread Strawberry Jam This Fall
Okay, no more monkeying around. No more people-pitching or ill-fated tape-flipping experiments. The post-millenial fab four have reconvened, the masks are off, the tour's begun, and Animal Collective have, at long last, revealed the details surrounding their rather wildly-anticipated new LP.
Thanks to reader Kevin C. Card for pointing out a post on the Animal Collective board Collected Animals, which offered the new album's title, Strawberry Jam (yum!), and tracklist. The information has been confirmed by the band's publicist.
Strawberry Jam arrives at some point in September (no exact date yet) via new Collective zoo Domino, and includes nine tracks sure to incite much mind-expanding (and, eh, probably a due share of head-scratching). This latest menagerie of tunes follows up 2005's Feels and January's People EP, and it does indeed include electronics-fried, carousel-death-trip "Cuckoo Cuckoo" (formerly just "Cuckoo"), which the quartet has been testing live of late. It was recorded at Wavelab in Tuscon, Arizona with Scott Colburn, who also worked on Feels and People (not to mention a little record called Neon Bible by some other band whose name we forget), as well as at the Rare Book Room in Brooklyn with Nicholas Vernhes.
The Crayola commercial stars' U.S. travels bring them to Chicago tonight, while Panda Bear teases most of the world with four East Coast date in June.

01 Peacebone
02 Unsolved Mysteries

04 For Reverend Green

Liars' Fourth Album Revealed!
It's been mere months since we last pored over the MySpace blog of art-punk outfit Liars, gleaning what we could about their work on the follow-up to last year's impressionistic Drum's Not Dead. But, thanks to some far-less cryptic information just delivered to the Pitchfork news team in the form of a press release, we're now caught up on all things Angus.
On August 28, the folks at Mute will release Liars' Liars, the band's fourth long-player. Yes, a self-titled album from the band that brought you They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top and They Were Wrong, So We Drowned. (Looks like their first choice , We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, was already taken.)
Apparently, this new album serves as Angus Andrew's big Neil Young moment. Says Andrew: "I'd never felt like a songwriter 'til this album... If you said I'd be playing guitar solos, I'd have called you a liar." So that's the "chilled out vibe" they muttered about on last check, eh?
Liars will come three ways: on a CD, a slab of albino vinyl, and through the magic of computer technology. The tracklist is posted below; you'll note the utter lack of longwinded statements-as-titles this time out, a trick Modest Mouse can apparently keep for themselves.
Also, Liars freaks not already up on the free track posted as part of the Warm & Scratchy comp should click accordingly.
Liars:
01 Plaster Casts of Everything
02 Houseclouds
03 Leather Prowler
04 Sailing to Byzantium
05 What Would They Know
05 Cycle Time
06 Freak Out
07 Pure Unevil
08 Clear Island
09 The Dumb in the Rain
10 Protection
