The song "I Think I Can" sounds like it is going to be epic!

I've heard a lot of good things. If anyone wants to nudge me in the right direction of listening to it, that would be greatly appreciated :).

I'm going to wait till release.
Not drinking alcohol saves a lot of money for record consumption... and 'What Would I Want? Sky' sounds exactly like the sort of thing I want to spend my cash on.

Yeah, I'll wait till release I reckon. I also have that What would I want? Sky on my iTunes, and it sounds quite static compared to live recordings.. lacks Avey Tare's nonsensical ramblings at the beginning I guess

I thought it was quite weak compared to the other four tracks. Still nice though, a return to Feels-era kinda stuff.

No need to wait further, if you're willing to grab this digitally. It's out now on Bleep and other digital distributors. Just DLed it last night. (:

This is a much less straight-forward, more intricate release than Merriweather, by far. Definitely more of an introspective journey, too. Fantastic EP...really look forward to listening to it more this weekend.

Worries me a bit that the vocals have obviously been processed/pitch-corrected, which makes me think this could be a hard act to replicate on the road. Anyone heard these tracks live?

Heard Graze, What Would I Want? Sky and Bleeding live and all sounded fine. Can't say I noticed the pitch correction, but then I wasn't listening out for it at all, just taking in the overall swirl of sound.

I know what you mean about it being more of an introspective journey. Utterly hooked/obsessing over On A Highway at the moment. AC and Bibio have completely consumed my listening this year. Nothing else has come close.

Yeah, What Would I Want? Sky was great, Avey was really good. Panda Bear less so, as much as I hate to say. He couldn't hit a note properly all night really.

that's the only piece of evidence on the tube of the gig i saw
