Avey Tare's new record- WTF?
 

He's releasing it backwards. Wait... what? Yeah he's releasing it backwards. Does anyone else think thats crazy? I'v heard a few of the tracks and it is sooo much better the regular way. Its really quite good that way. But this reverse business? It seems so dumb to me.

This is what Avey said himself:
"hey guys that is indeed the record, no tricks involved here, no concepts. We just really like it that way. Hope thats cool. Were not bummed. i hope youre not...

Its not really an issue of prefering the songs backwards. Its more of the fact that this is a release we wanted to put out. It has a foreign/other quality and as you said nice warm ambient quality that we like. I wouldnt really say its a noise record. Ive put tons and tons of work into songs noone will ever hear why should it stop me from doing what i want with them. its just because you guys know the songs and can even hear them reversed on your computers that makes you have all these confused thoughts. If you couldnt download bootlegs of the songs and couldnt hear them reversed then you would just say fuck this record sucks..or cool this record rules and youd let it grow on you or you wouldnt. Youd find a place where it works or you wouldnt. Its not hard to flip a reel around and hear it backwards or even decide that it sounds sweet and its not really that bizzare of a record either or that difficult if you can get over the fact that its backwards you dont even need a computer. If you just pass it off as backwards sure ofcourse its not revolutionary or "experimental" youve been able to flip tape for more or less almost 100 years now why would i think its experimental??? Ive heard "i am sitting in a room" okay, i know what experimental music is (hehehe joke)."



what do you guys think?

he has a new record? where can I download the forward version?

Heres an older article about it. (Its since been discovered that the whole record, not just that track is in reverse.)

I dunno, that idea sounds kinda shitty to me. I want to hear Avey Tare make amazing music as usual. I like that song, both ways. But a whole album?

sounds like he's losing it.

Exactly my thoughts, it will most probably give me a headache after a while.

Does anyone know if the new Panda Bear record is any good?

I heard the Panda Bear is really good actually. Forwards.

Person Pitch (new panda bear) is very good. A lot of vocal harmonies, insert beach boys reference here, and an overall really warm, pleasant listen. Check it out.

Yea, i heard a couple of tracks on his myspace and thought there was a large beach boys influence, ill check it out for sure.

Well, it probably be more accessable if he released his music as a normal "forward" sounding album, and then to experiment if he had did his "reversal" side as a downloadable mp3 files that could be the additional interactive side of the album... cd version that is.

hAHA. Lame.
