I already posted this in the Mind Bokeh thread but I think it deserves its own:

Enjoy!

Good tune, sounds like the whole Folk/Field recording stuff is completely gone now, makes me kind of said, but then again, I really liked AA as well.

Woah some turbo-crunk in the latter part of this song.

Interesting.

Unfortunately the majority of his fans are into him for his Folk

I kind of like it but not what I was hoping for.

That was a really good video. Very, very trippy.

I love this song and video. Toward the end the visiuals start to remind me of my synesthesia.

Gatdamn this is really intricate and mellow.
Freakin fantastic. This just makes me crave the new album even more.

Actually, I think I preferred the simpler video for the sampler more than this one.

I thought while watching the video, that it was one of the few I keep watching. Most do loose my attention pretty quick, but this one didn't... (although I didn't like the second half as much as the first half video and music-wise)

I loved especially the first few seconds (with the blinking), because they made me think I was waiting for something really special. It created an atmosphere of the anxious waiting for something heavenly... great job doing that in a few seconds.

This.

I was bored and thoroughly unimpressed with the song until it picked up near the end, at which point it was ..... fine. Just fine. That's all. Not amazing, not wonderful, didn't make me want to get up and dance, didn't make me want to nod my head. Just .... fine.

Meh.

I watched this twice, trying to figure out for myself whether I felt it was good or just trying too hard.

Ultimately I think that I'm not hip and ironic enough to get it. Fitting that the video is posted on Pitchfork.

I remember listening to Ambivalence Avenue the first time and really trying to like it since everyone was busting a nut over how good it was. I gave it a chance, it started to grow on me, and then I simply couldn't listen to again. It got old fast, kind of like any Weezer album... it's catchy but has no lasting appeal for me.

Nicely spotted. Full Version.

Needs to be listened to with a good pair of cans, lots of sonic madness going on. I think it's genius to be honest, I think it will grow on people come the release of the alvum.

This track just confirmed for me that the album is indeed going to be fantastic! I really miss his older sound, but he's doing what he wants to do eh? Can't really say anything about that!

His sound has really evolved. Talented as fuck.

Same. Wasn't feeling it at first but without really listening again it has crept in to my head. I've had it in my head all day today at work so just played it again and I'm loving it. This album is gonna be big.
